Gigondas

2009 Gigondas Red Blend

Domaine St. Francois Xavier Gigondas is a remarkable red blend from the esteemed Gigondas region, showcasing the natural beauty and rich terroir of this southern Rhône locale. The wine presents a deep, ruby-red hue that captures the eye, promising depth and character. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience, complemented by a pronounced acidity that gives it a bright, lively character. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark fruits such as blackcurrant and ripe plum, intermingled with subtle herbal notes and hints of spice that create an inviting complexity. Tannins are notably firm yet well-integrated, providing structure while allowing the wine’s fruit to shine. This vintage, dating back to 2009, has matured beautifully, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and elegantly balanced, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or a cozy evening by the fireplace. It is crafted to be dry, leaving a clean finish that invites another sip, showcasing the true essence of the Gigondas region.
