Vieilles Vignes Gigondas AOP - Maison Tardieu-Laurent

The barrel-aged Vieilles Vignes Gigondas from the wine-growing region the Rhône Valley shows in the glass in dense purple. With a little lateral position, the red wine glass reveals a charming garnet red tone at the edges. Swiveling the glass, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, evident in church windows at the rim of the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from France offers wonderfully expressive aromas of raspberry and red currant, rounded out by other fruity nuances contributed by barrel aging.

The Maison Tardieu-Laurent Vieilles Vignes Gigondas delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 0.4 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine icon wine segment, this Frenchman naturally enraptures with the finest balance for all its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily need a lot of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully velvety. Due to its present fruit acidity, the Vieilles Vignes Gigondas is fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. The final of this red wine from the wine-growing region of the Rhône Valley, which has good aging potential, finally convinces with considerable reverberation.
