Notes: Domaine de Fontavin was established in 1989 by the Chouvet family, who have been producing wine in the Rhone region for many generations. Today the Domaine owns 45 hectares of vines across 8 communes in the Southern Rhone, including Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and has been certified as an organic producer since 2008. This Gigondas is a blend of 75% Grenache noir with Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault and Clairette rose, from 60-year-old vines. It has herbaceous notes of rosemary and thyme on the nose, with a peppery and vibrant palate of black fruits and spice with powerful tannins. A fine accompaniment to spicy dishes, duck and steak.
