The careful selection of terroirs with specific altitudes, climates and orientations gives to its Gigondas Laurus a complex balance between finesse and minerality, richness and spicy notes

Terroir:
The Grenache vines are planted in the gravelly terraces bordering the Ouvèze river(Quaternary Period) in the western part of the appellation which provides richness, fruit and spicy notes. The Syrah vines are located in the Pourra sector, in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountains. This is the eastern part of the appellation where the soil is primarily limestone and marl from the Cretaceous Period at around 400 m. in altitude, providing freshness and minerality.

Age of vines & yield: Between 20 and 50 years. 31hl/ha.

Grape Varieties: 55% Grenache - 45 % Syrah

Tasting notes:
Bright violet. A highly expressive bouquet displays mineral-driven red and dark berry, exotic spice and mocha scents, and a peppery nuance adds spicy lift. Sweet, broad and penetrating on the palate, offering Chambord, cherry pie and bitter chocolate flavors that tighten up slowly on the back half. Concentrated but energetic as well, displaying resonating spice and floral notes on a very long, energetic, youthfully tannic finish.
