2022 Domaine Du Grand Bourjassot - Gigondas Classique (750ml)

The 2022 Domaine Du Grand Bourjassot Gigondas Classique (750ml) represents the domaine’s primary production, showcasing a hands-on, terroir-driven Rhône red crafted from vines that average over 65 years of age.

Vines are in excess of 65-years of age on average. Following hand-harvesting, fermentation is normally started spontaneously, with whole clusters (in cooler years she might de-stem some or all of the Syrah, as well as some Grenache), the grapes are lightly crushed, and the cuvaison lasts for around 15 days. The wine is subsequently raised in tank. No fining, and only a light filtration at bottling. Production averages around 700 cases. Importer notes (Vintage 59).
