Gigondas Red Wine

2009 Gigondas Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvedre

Chateau Redortier Gigondas Red Wine from the esteemed 2009 vintage is a captivating expression hailing from the renowned Gigondas region. This wine showcases a harmonious blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, resulting in a full-bodied profile that exudes richness and depth. Its vibrant red hue invites you in, while the inviting aromas of dark fruit, plum, and subtle spices tantalize the senses. On the palate, this wine reveals a well-balanced acidity that adds bright liveliness, complementing the prominent fruit intensity that ranges from ripe berries to hints of black cherry. The tannins are notably structured, providing a solid backbone that supports the wine's complexity and ageability. Typical of Gigondas, this wine leans towards a dry style, making it an ideal pairing for hearty dishes or simply enjoyed on its own.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
