WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine du Grand Bourjassot Cuvée Cécile Gigondas is a classic Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre blend from the Gigondas appellation located in the Rhône Valley. Cuvée Cécile is sourced from two old-vine limestone parcels upslope near the village of Plan de Dieu. These 10 acres of 65+ years old vines are hand-harvested. Wines are fermented using whole clusters and maturation takes place in tank for around 9-10 months before bottling.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Cuvée Cécile Gigondas by Domaine du Grand Bourjassot displays a pale medium ruby color.On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe fruits, such as strawberries, blackberries and plums, intertwined with elegant floral notes of violets and lavender. There is also a subtle hint of spice and dried herbs that adds a layer of complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a round and rich mouthfeel. The ripe bramble fruit flavors are complemented by a touch of licorice, while hints of black pepper and herbs linger on the finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine du Grand Bourjassot
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
