Cuvée Prestigieux Gigondas 2022

Luscious southern Rhône cru red – from Gigondas, close to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Warming and velvety The southern Rhône’s cru villages deliver remarkable richness as well as value – all nine of them well worth discovering. One of the very best is Gigondas, its vineyards stretching up to the foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Cuvée Préstigieux is from the Guillot family. In 1911, great grandfather of the current owner forsook his birthplace of Burgundy and headed south to the Rhône valley. There he bought his first vineyard. Today, Laurent Guillot is in charge, working the family plots both in Burgundy and the southern Rhône. This Cuvée Préstigieux is a full-bodied, velvety style with ripe blackberry and cherry fruit, herbal notes and a touch of spice from the Mourvèdre. A majestic partner with roast lamb or a rich casserole.
