What makes the wines of Gigondas so special come down to two unique features of its terroir: high elevation and limestone soils. These two factors combine to give Gigondas more freshness and lift compared to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, though the wines still possess incredible power and richness of fruit. A blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, Olivier & Lafont’s Gigondas emits gorgeous aromas of currant, cherry and boysenberry fruits with notes of lilac and light spice combined with a lovely herbal undertone. Lush, juicy blackberry and blueberry fruit flavors are woven around a wonderful spine of minerality that runs from start to finish. Olivier & Lafont’s Gigondas is a full-bodied red with velvety smooth tannins that glide ever so softly over the palate as they cascade into a long, complex finish. Pair with grilled burgers, sausages and lamb or barbecue beef brisket, barbecue chicken or pulled pork.
