WINE DESCRIPTION
This superbly crafted Yves Cheron Domaine du Grand Montmirail Les Deux Juliette Sélection des Vieilles Vignes Gigondas is a classic example of the bold and full-bodied wines of the Gigondas appellation. It has a deep ruby color and a nose of black cherry, blackberry, and plum, with subtle hints of herbs and spice. On the palate, it is round and velvety, with a well-balanced acidity and a lingering finish. The intense flavors of dark fruit are complemented by earthy, leathery notes and a touch of smokiness. This is a great example of a classic Gigondas wine with complexity, elegance and richness. Enjoy it with grilled meats, game, and hard cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Yves Cheron
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
