Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre plunge their roots into the depths of the mother rock, which contributes to giving exceptional qualities to this wine. Manual harvests, very small yields and ageing for 18 months in large wooden vats called "foudres" for a superb result.

This wine has a beautiful cherry red colour. Its expressive and charming nose of red berries and its ample and progressive, but never heavy, sensation on the palate make it an indulgent, subtle and sensual wine. The notes obtained from the ageing process complete the balance for an end result that is airy and full of light.

Situated on the low and medium-height terraces of Chateauneuf du Pape. Clay-limestone soil covered with rounded pebbles. The climate is Mediterranean with two dry seasons (one in winter and a longer one in summer) and two rainy seasons (heavy some years in autumn and lighter in spring). Finally, the presence of the Mistral wind throughout the year is a real advantage for the healthy growth of the vines.

A classy wine that pairs well with red meats, game, and flavourful cheeses.

In the heart of the Rhone Valley, 10 minutes from Châteauneuf du Pape, Château Gigognan is the heir of a deeply rooted history that dates back to the time of Roman colonisation.

Exposed to the weather and particularly to the Mistral for more than 100 days a year, the vineyard is located in one of the driest zones of the Rhone Valley, on the southern part of the estate. It benefits from over 2 800 hours of sunshine per year, but it is at night that the "caïau frejaü*" give back the heat stored all day long, just like an oven.

The Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyard is located on an exceptional terroir is very representative of those who have contributed to the reputation of the estate (a single plot of 25 hectares with several other plots nearby). The Côtes du Rhône vineyard is located in a small valley.

The restructuring of the vineyard undertaken over the past few years has seen the planting of 30 Châteauneuf du Pape hectares to combine with the old grapevines and to develop the aromatic complexities of the wines.

Conversion to organic agriculture has been undertaken and the Ecocert certification was awarded for the whole estate in 2010.
