About this winery

Les Giguières plantent leurs premières vignes en 1981 et attirent l’attention avec leurs premiers vins en 1983. Le site était autrefois planté en cultures et utilisé pour le pâturage des moutons. "Nous avons construit une cave et lui avons donné le nom de notre grand-père, puis nous avons pris notre patrimoine agricole et planté du raisin."

Grilled meat, beef skewer, lamb chop.

Production notes

The juice macerated cold for 24 hours at 55°F before being seeded with yeast D254. Fermentation in stainless steel at 85°F lasted 7-10 days. During the fermentation, the juice was pumped and the cap was watered three times a day, then extracted from the skins. The wines then made the malolactic fermentation. Stay in oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Wine of a beautiful dark red, with aromas of black cherry and blackcurrant coated with notes of dry grass and roasted coffee. The moderately powerful tannins are balanced by long fruity flavours. Notes of cherry, light roasted nuances and spices in the finish.
