Domaine des Pasquiers Gigondas
Domaine des Pasquiers Gigondas
Situated on the fault known as the "Nimes-Fault", the Dentelles mountain range emerged at the same time as the Pyrenees mountain and the Alps.
This geological phenomenon is very rare in the Rhone Valley. The resulting soils produce structured and unique terrors fro very complex wines.
The grapes are slowly maturing benefiting from the freshness of the mountain.
The clay will offer a very good draining soil for the vines, the gravel bringing minerality to this exceptional wine.
After harvesting the grapes by hand, a long fermentation takes place in vats which allow an ideal extraction of tannins and aromas. After a 9 month aging, the wine reveals all its softness and aromas.
A bright cherry red robe, an complex and harmonious nose where notes of jammy black cherries dominate with hints of spices and garage. On the palate, the wine has attractive fullness and a exceptional long finale on the fruit and spices.
The wine is perfect with red meats or stewed lamb.
