NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This robust Côtes du Rhône Villages from Château Gigognan Bois des Moines offers a delightful balance of ripe fruit character and earthy undertones.On the nose, aromas of black plum, cassis, and red currant are accompanied by notes of smoked leather and dried herbs. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine is marked by a juicy core of dark berry flavors, complemented by a hint of black pepper and a hint of crushed violet. The finish is long, with lingering notes of mocha and spice adding complexity.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château Gigognan
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
