Gigondas is the most famous village in the southern Rhône after Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with which it is often compared. The grapes in Les Hauts de Montmirail are 50% grenache and 25% each of mourvèdre and syrah. The vineyards are on terraced slopes with southern exposure along the Dentelles de Montmirail, the mighty limestone massif. The wine is aged in partly new oak barrels. The fruit is delicious with a warm feeling, typical of the region, and some black pepper. It is structured with tannins, but it is quite rounded at the finish.
