Gigondas is where you'll fine Châteauneuf-du-Pape-esque reds at great value, and E. Guigal is one of the finest producers in the Rhône Valley. Here, it presses Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes and ages the wine for two years in oak. The result is full-bodied and intense, with powerful hints of red fruit, liquorice and oak and supple tannins.
This wine has an intense nose of blackberries and liquorice. On the palate it is powerful and full-bodied with a long, elegant finish. Pairs well with pheasant or partridge.
