Presentation
As in cooking, we carefully select terroirs and grape varieties to best express the original flavours of each appellation in a fruity, expressive style with silky tannins. Each cuvée is enjoyable from the moment it is bottled. The final blending is carried out with Chefs Disciples d'Escoffier, so that each wine is associated with the world of gastronomy from the start.

Reviews

91/100
"The 2019 Gigondas Les Pierres Du Vallat is more modern styled and has some subtle background oak as well as notes of blue fruits, peppery herbs, and violets. Medium-bodied on the palate, it’s wonderfully textured and has silky tannins and a great finish."

"Dark, bright-rimmed ruby. Ripe red/blue fruit and floral aromas are sharpened by smoky mineral and spice flourishes. Juicy and broad on the palate, offering appealingly sweet, smoke and spice-tinged cherry and boysenberry flavors, tightening up on the black half. "
