Montirius Gigondas Rouge "Terre des Aînés" AOC 2017 Biodyn, 0,75 L

Powerful and elegant—these words perfectly capture the essence of this exquisite biodynamically produced Gigondas from Domaine Montirius. Known for its cool freshness uncommon in warmer climates, all wines from this estate reflect this distinct quality.

Consistently rated between 93 and 95 points by critics, and rightly so in our view. The nearly 90-year-old vines and exceptionally low yields contribute to a profound, multi-layered wine that's a true pleasure to savour.

In the glass, it reveals a deep, dark purple hue, almost opaque. Complex aromas of blueberries and blackberries, hints of violets, and mineral undertones greet the nose. Herbal spices and a touch of dark chocolate entice the palate with the first sip. Despite its 15% alcohol content, the wine surprises with its freshness—a dense, full-bodied texture with velvety tannins and superb juiciness. Robust fruit flavours meld seamlessly with excellent acidity and structure, a rarity in wines of this calibre.

A top recommendation for braised dishes, roasts, juicy steaks, or mature cheeses—a wine that elevates any meal to a memorable occasion.
