. Original price: . Final price: $46.99

Domaine Gour Chaule, a respected winery in the southern Rhône Valley, is renowned for its traditional approach to winemaking, particularly in the Gigondas appellation. This wine is a blend predominantly composed of Grenache, with smaller proportions of Syrah and Mourvèdre, typical of the region's robust red wines. The grapes are carefully harvested and fermented using traditional methods, followed by aging in large oak foudres, which imparts subtle oak nuances without overpowering the wine's natural fruit character. The resulting wine exhibits a rich bouquet of dark berries, spices, and earthy undertones, with a well-structured palate featuring balanced acidity and firm tannins. It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as lamb stew, grilled meats, and aged cheeses.

The 2021 Gigondas Cuvée Tradition 1871 checks in at a moderate 13.7% alcohol. Cropped at 26hL/Ha, it offers shy red fruit aromatics but really comes alive on the palate. Solid flavor concentration flawlessly matches the energizing acidity, all tucked into a corset of gently sculpted tannins. The finish of this 2021 red is distinctively elegant. This spent one year in a combination of concrete tanks and foudres
