Gigondas

Terroir

The old vines of Domaine Grand Romane are located on the highest part of the family vineyard, 400 m above sea level. Facing northwest, these hillsides dominated by upper Cretaceous sandstone limestone and sandy marl, offer power and concentration.

Winemaking

Sorting the best bunches is possible only by hand picking. Harvest begins after a final tasting of the grapes, usually considerably later than the rest of the appellation. A traditional fermentation is carried on for Grenache and Syrah, while whole-bunch fermentation enhances the roundness and power of the mighty Mourvèdre.

Tasting notes

On the nose there are aromas of black fruit (blackcurrant and black cherry) and red fruits (raspberry and redcurrant) stewed with a hint of vanilla which meet savoury notes of thyme, laurel and black olives on the palate. Powerful tannins fill the mouth with notes of spicy liquorice and pepper for a long and satisfying finish. An astonishing balance of complexity, power and elegance.

Autumn leaf – Newsletter October 2018

The last grapes are just harvested, and we are currently busy working in the winery. After a particularly dry year in 2017, the 2018 vintage began with a completely different climatic pattern.
