Domaine des Fontnobles Gigondas Red
Domaine des Fontnobles Gigondas Red Vintage is 2020
Gigondas is an appellation of Southern Rhone. Formerly dedicated to olive groves, the village of Gigondas progressively turned to Grenache.
Climate is relatively hot and dry which favors a fuller expression of the Grenache and Syrah grape varieties. On the other hand, altitude preserves the freshness and elegance
of those wines endowed with extraordinary ageing potential.The low yields allow the production of powerful and structured reds and contribute to the quality of this appellation.
This wine exudes a fiery, voluptuous, and robust character that matures beautifully over a minimum of seven years. It pairs exquisitely with red meats, game, and cheese platters. Its stunning deep purple hue is intense and vibrant, shimmering with lively brilliance. On the nose, it offers an aroma of great complexity, blending ripe black fruits—blackberries, blueberries, and cherries—with subtle hints of toasted notes, moka, spices, and black pepper. The palate is remarkably concentrated, featuring fine, firm, yet silky tannins, complemented by a touch of sweetness, fleshy textures, and a refreshing lift. Flavors of coffee, licorice, and a long-lasting finish complete the experience.
Grape Varieties: 70% Grenache, 30% Syrah
Cellaring Potential: 7 to 9 years
Tasting Notes: The wine displays an intense, deep garnet color with bright, reflective highlights. The nose is expressive, showcasing notes of stewed red fruits, cherries, prunes, intertwined with blackberries and mocha nuances. On the palate, it is dense and rich, with tightly knit, enveloping tannins that give it power, richness, and impressive length.
Food Pairings: Perfect with game dishes, truffles, duck breast, beef cuts, porcini or morel mushrooms, charcuterie, and cheese.
Food Pairing recommendations: game meat, beef or a local cheese such as Saint Marcellin or Saint Felicien.
