NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Domaine Cécile Chassagne Gigondas is a remarkable wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Gigondas appellation in the Rhône Valley, France.On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, accompanied by notes of black pepper, dried herbs, and a touch of floral essence.
On the palate, this wine reveals its true elegance and complexity. The ripe fruit flavors are beautifully balanced with well-integrated tannins, providing a smooth and velvety texture. There is a delightful interplay between the fruit and savory elements, with hints of black olive, garrigue, and a touch of smokiness. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Cécile Chassagne
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
