Laurus Gigondas 2009 AOP Gigondas Red - France
Rich crimson colour. The nose combines pleasant, gourmet aromas of stewed fruit and Burlat cherries. To the palate, it is the Syrah variety produced on Dentelles de Montmirail soils that prevail. The result is fresh-tasting and smooth, with pleasantly long-lasting aromas.
Thanks to the hot spring and plentiful quantities of subsoil water, the flowering process enjoyed favourable conditions. The rainy month of July delayed the ripening stage but the heat in August and September helped revive it, thus producing very acceptable sugar content. The harvest began on the 15th September.
