NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Montvac Adage Gigondas is a striking example of the traditional style of Gigondas.With aromas of blackberry and plum on the nose, the palate is full of dark cherry, earth, and hints of leather. On the finish, there is a bright yet balanced acidity that gives a pleasant lingering taste. Enjoy this wine now or lay down for a few years to fully appreciate its complexity.

ORIGINS
Winery: Montvac
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
