Tasting note

Gigondas sits in the shadow of the Dentelles de Montmirail, and Grapillon d'Or has been a family estate at the foot of them for generations. Celine Chauvet now runs it, working old Grenache vines on clay and limestone with a good measure of Syrah alongside. There is no new oak here, which is exactly right for the style. The wine spends its time in large old wood and concrete so the fruit and the site do the talking rather than the barrel.

The 2023 is dark and generous without being heavy. Black cherry and crushed raspberry first, then the wild herbs and dried lavender that southern Rhone growers call garrigue, and a twist of black pepper on the finish. The tannins are ripe and grainy rather than firm, so it is already approachable, though it will fill out and soften over the next five or six years.

Made for slow cooked lamb, daube of beef, or anything with rosemary and garlic near it. Decant an hour ahead if you are opening it young.

Producer

Domaine du Grapillon d'Or

The Domaine du Grapillon d'or was built in 1806 although the Chauvet family had been present in Gigondas, in the heart of Provence since 1630. Since that date, numerous developments have been carried out by successive generations. 30 years ago, Celine, the 9th generation, joined her father at the estate to take charge of the winemaking and management. The 14-hectare vineyard in Gigondas, which is mainly located on the hillsides, is mainly composed of Grenache and Syrah. 

Region

Southern Rhone

The Southern Rhône, a renowned wine region in southeastern France, is celebrated for its diverse and robust wines. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, it is ideal for viticulture. The Southern Rhône is famous for its blends, particularly from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, producing rich, full-bodied reds with complex flavours of dark fruit, spices, and herbs. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most prestigious appellation, known for its powerful and age-worthy wines. It also excels in producing aromatic whites and refreshing rosés. With its varied terroir and traditional winemaking techniques, the Southern Rhône offers a captivating wine experience for enthusiasts seeking high-quality and flavourful wines.
