NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of dark berries, plum, and black cherry, complemented by notes of garrigue, pepper, and a hint of leather.On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, featuring layers of blackberry, raspberry, and licorice, intertwined with earthy undertones and a touch of spice. The tannins are firm yet polished, providing a solid backbone and a smooth, lingering finish. This Gigondas offers a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and minerality, showcasing the elegance and depth of the Southern Rhône.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine de Font-Sane
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
