    A Vibrant & Fruity Gigondas from a small family-run estate

    Beautiful garnet color, clear and bright ; the nose has notes of clove, licorice, ripe berries and plum. The palate is concentrated with a charming sweetness and fine tannins. The Tradition is a fine wine with a long length and dedicated to a long life

    "One of the biggest misconceptions about wine is that older bottles are better. The gloriously youthful Domaine de Font-Sane's Tradition Gigondas is absolute proof that isn't true: this is a wine to relish as soon as you can for its exuberance, vigour and sheer loveliness."
    -Richard Hemming, MW

    STORY BEHIND THE LABEL

    Across just 9 hectares, this Gigondas Tradition brings together a mosaic of five distinct terroirs. Drawn from soils ranging from clay, limestone, and pebbly ground to sandy alluvium and sandy loam, each plot contributes its own distinct nuance to the bottle. The blend is driven by 74% Grenache, complemented by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and 4% Cinsault. In the cellar, the winemaking follows a traditional approach: temperature-controlled fermentation lasting 40 days, utilising daily punching of the cap and small rack-and-return to build depth and structure. Yields are kept to 49 hl/ha, and the wine is matured for 8 months in oak casks to refine its character before release.
