Description
Florent and Damien Burle’s Gigondas does justice to the appellation’s hallmarks of depth, power and structure. A truly fine wine offering crisp fruit and a rich, indulgent texture. It has a deep, dark colour. The very delicate nose reveals concentrated fruit (cherry, blackberry), a hint of violet and subtle spicy notes. On the palate, it is rich, smooth and heady, yet never lacking in freshness, underpinned by elegant tannins. Magnificent!
