Grand Grenache 66

2009 Gigondas Grenache Noir

Domaine Santa Duc Grand Grenache 66, a captivating expression of Grenache Noir from the renowned Gigondas region, showcases a deep red hue that entices the eye. This 2009 vintage radiates warmth and richness, embodying the sun-drenched terroir of Southern Rhône. The body is full, delivering a plush and inviting mouthfeel that lingers. With a well-balanced acidity, it brings brightness and a refreshing quality to the palate, enhancing its overall appeal. The nuances of dark fruits, particularly ripe blackberries and cherries, create a prominent fruit intensity that is both luscious and inviting. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overshadowing the vibrant fruit. This wine is dry, leading to a satisfying finish that encourages another sip. A true gem from Gigondas, it reflects the region's dedication to craftsmanship and exceptional winemaking.

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.
