About this wine

E. Guigal Gigondas 2020 is a classic Rhône red, often compared to Châteauneuf-du-Pape for its depth and complexity. Crafted predominantly from Grenache, with smaller proportions of Syrah and Mourvèdre, this wine offers structure, backbone, and excellent ageing potential. It exemplifies the elegance and power of the southern Rhône Valley, making it a benchmark for Gigondas wines. Vineyards The grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Gigondas, where the stony, sun-drenched soils and Mediterranean climate encourage full ripening and concentration of flavours. The Grenache provides richness and fruit intensity, while Syrah and Mourvèdre contribute tannin, colour, and ageing potential. Vinification After harvest, the grapes are fermented with meticulous care. The wine is then matured for two years in large oak foudres, allowing gentle oxygenation and the development of complexity without overwhelming the fruit. Tasting Notes Deep ruby in colour, the 2020 Gigondas displays aromas of ripe red and black berries, spices, and subtle earthy notes. The palate is full-bodied, with firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, structured finish, reflecting the Rhône’s signature intensity. Food Matching Ideal with roasted meats, hearty stews, game dishes, and strong cheeses. Also pairs beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine. Technical Details Grape Variety: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre
