Gigondas – Domaine de la Bastide Saint-Vincent 2021

Grape varieties: Grenache (70%), Syrah (20%), Mourvèdre (10%)

Characteristics: The 2021 Gigondas from Domaine de la Bastide Saint-Vincent seduces with its deep, deep garnet color with purple highlights. The nose is intense and sunny, expressing notes of jammy black fruits, garrigue, black pepper, and licorice, with a subtle touch of leather. On the palate, the body is dense and generous, with a well-established structure. The tannins are powerful but melted, and the finish, long and persistent, reveals nuances of sweet spices, thyme, and black cherry. An authentic and distinguished wine, with a typically Mediterranean character.

Food Pairing: This Gigondas pairs perfectly with grilled red meats, lamb tagine, herb-flavored chops, or game in sauce. Serve at 17°C after decanting for one hour.

The Estate: Located at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, Domaine de la Bastide Saint-Vincent has been an independent family business since the 16th century. The vines, averaging 40 to 50 years old, are cultivated on clay-limestone soils and rolled pebbles, typical of the appellation. The work is carried out in accordance with tradition, with manual harvesting, vinification by plot, and aging in vats or barrels to preserve the character of the terroir. The estate produces sincere, powerful, and elegant wines, faithful to the identity of the Southern Rhône.
