Discover the Cuvée Romane Machotte, the first white Gigondas vintage to win the Gold Medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris
An outstanding first white vintage
This year, our first vintage AOP GIGONDAS BLANC won the Gold Medal at the Concours Général Agricole 2024, organised during the famous Salon International de l’Agriculture in Paris! This recognition rewards decades of work in our vineyards. This cuvée expresses the balance of different terroirs and the blending of different grape varieties.
Production of the Cuvée Romane Machotte
The vines are hand-picked. Clairette is aged in multi-wine barrels and amphora, preserving the fine tannins of the sandy terroir, and refining the structure provided by the limestone terroir. Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier are aged in stainless steel tanks, preserving the purity and freshness of the fruit.
To be enjoyed on any occasion
Romane-Machotte blanc is characterized by remarkable minerality, freshness and structure. It reveals complex, delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers and luscious apricot. Serve chilled (12°c), with fresh goat’s cheese with fine herbs or grilled sea bass fillet.
This white Gigondas is the first vintage to be certified Organic.
A subtle, harmonious blend
Around the village, the vines benefit from a sunnier terroir at the foot of the slopes, on Miocene sandy soils that encourage early ripening of our grapes. At an altitude of 300 meters at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, on our Cretaceous limestone marl soils with north-west exposure, the grapes benefit from slower ripening, freshness and additional aromatic complexity. This cuvée expresses the balance of different terroirs and the blending of different grape varieties.
