Created in 1971, the relatively cooler climate of the Gigondas is becoming trendy as temperatures rise in the Southern Rhône. Here Grenache can grow as high as 600m and under the cooling influence of the Mistral wind and the protection of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountains, the long growing season can help create fascinating wines. At least 50% Grenache must be blended with Syrah and / or Mourvèdre.
