Grenache (90%), Syrah and Mourvedre (10%)
Aromas of kirsch, black raspberry, cracked pepper, and wild herbs. Juicy red fruit on the palate, soft tannins, and lingering spice on the finish. A beautiful balance between generosity and structure.
A small amount of Côtes du Rhône is produced from the vineyards owned by the estate in the communes of Vacqueyras and Violes. As with the more noble Gigondas, this cuvée is based almost exclusively on the Grenache grape (approximately 90% of the blend annually). It is vinified in a fashion similar to the Gigondas except that the élevage is less long. This is to say that there is an extended cuvaison with stems included, malolactic is done in cuve and the wine sees a brief stay in large foudres before being bottled eighteen months after harvest without fining or filtration.
Tiny production, approximately 2,400 bottles imported to the US.The Domaine Gour de Chaule, situated in the heart of the village of Gigondas, was founded in 1900 by Eugene Bonfils, the great-grandfather of the current proprietor, Stephanie Fumoso.
