Saint-Damien's Gigondas reds are a Grenache-lover's dream, at a dreamy price for this level of quality. Old-vine Grenache and Mourvedre, with a long maceration and fermentation in concrete, followed by over a year aging in old foudre. Always released with a good bit of bottle age, the wine shows intense depth of fruit with concentrated aromatics of stewed plums and woodsy herbs, exhibiting the classic floral and savory elements famous of this southern French region.

Grapes: Grenache planted in 1942, Mourvèdre planted in 1977, small amounts of Cinsault and Syrah as well
