Product Notes

Montirius Gigondas Terres des Ainés is a delightful French vintage which exemplifies the richness of Rhone Valley vineyards. Organic and biodynamic from conception, it boasts an intense ruby hue. On the nose, it’s a medley of ripe red fruits enveloped in a dance with earthy notes, projecting the alchemy of Grenache and Mourvedre grapes. Expect distinct flavours of blackcurrant, cherry, and spices on the palate set against a background of tannins, adding depth and character. Ideal for ageing, this wine is a splendid companion to meat dishes or a cheese board. A sensual experience, it embraces all that is exalted in winemaking.

Tasting Notes

A lovely deep dark red wine. On the nose it has hints of liquorice, violets and black fruits. In the mouth, it is both delicate and powerful. Tannins with a noble texture. The aromas found on the nose are also discovered in the mouth.
