Gigondas Raspail-Ay 2003
The wine
From traditional growth inspired by organic principles, this Gigondas is a masterful blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grown on clay-chalk soil that is lightly sloping and exposed to the east. After maturing for 14-18 months in large, old barrels, this wine (that can be aged for a good decade) has a ruby colour and an intense bouquet of mature, black fruits and black pepper. Its palate delights with its fullness and exceptional persistence. It is undeniably a gastronomic wine that will pair wonderfully with game or marinated beef.
