Gigondas Terrasses de Montmirail 2019 - Alain Jaume 75cl

Gigondas "Terrasses de Montmirail" 2020 stands out for its exceptional terroir located in the Dentelles de Montmirail area, where the clay-sand and limestone soils favor quality viticulture. At an altitude ranging from 100 to 600 meters, this region benefits from cool nights that contribute to late ripening of the grapes.

The grape varieties are mainly Grenache Noir, with additions of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Vinification is carried out by traditional fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel or concrete vats, followed by aging in vats and oak barrels for 12 to 14 months.

Visually, the wine displays a deep, intense color. On the nose, it reveals typical Grenache aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant, enriched with notes of undergrowth and spices. On the palate, "Terrasses de Montmirail" offers great breadth, with a long finish of spicy and mineral nuances, reminiscent of crushed rock and graphite.

To fully enjoy its qualities, it is recommended to taste it between 1 and 7 years, decanting it if consumed young, at a temperature of 17°C.
