This is not only a typical Gigondas, but also a real Guigal. The house has more than 2 different Rhones in its range. In each wine, Guigal tries to capture the character of that one specific terroir. For Gigondas, that is the taste of creamy cherries and blackberries as in jam, combined with spices and a good twist of the pepper mill. It has a firm structure with a - and that is typical of Guigal - a long, soft aftertaste that makes the wine give you such a comfortable feeling. In short: a wine with a lot of flavor that goes well with a nice main course and which you can also enjoy extensively with the cheese.
