Domaine Montirius' Gigondas "Terre des Aînés" 2017 is a sublime AOC Gigondas cuvée crafted from old vines, with Grenache aged 85 years and Mourvèdre aged 65 years. This wine presents a deep black color and a nose characterized by notes of licorice, violets, and black fruit. On the palate, it is delicate yet powerful, with noble-grained tannins and a lovely olfactory return. The aromas of the nose are echoed, creating a rich and dense palate experience that remains surprisingly supple due to a constant freshness. Enhanced by two winters of cement tank aging, this 2017 vintage benefits from a hot growing season, offering a beautifully balanced wine. Manual harvesting ensures the best possible grape selection, resulting in a wine that exemplifies the finesse and complexity of the Gigondas terroir.
