The Story Behind the Bottle
Gigondas may not yet have the kudos of Châteauneuf, but with wines like this it should have. The appellation lies just north of its Papal neighbour, with the same galet-strewn soil that assists ripening. Its wines are similar too - Grenache-based with a lovely warmth, richness and long spicy finish. Clos des Tourelles is one of the very best. It's from the Perrin family, owners too of Châteauneuf's flagship Château de Beaucastel. Their fabulous Gigondas property dates to medieval times and lies just outside the village. Its ancient walled vineyard has superb sandy clay soils and from there, Marc Perrin selects grapes for this fine red. A mix from older and younger vines gives an ideal balance of fruit, intensity and complexity. Open early.
