Description
Florent and Damien Burle’s Les Fouilles Gigondas offers a complex, refined nose. The wine is harmonious overall, with a flavourful palate dominated by notes of morello cherry. A full-bodied, rich Gigondas. The finish, punctuated by hints of cocoa, is enhanced by its fine, well-defined texture.
