2019 Domaine du Gour de Chaulé La Numéro Huit Gigondas red
Description
Domaine du Gour de Chaulé is a 10-hectare estate located in the Côtes du Rhône sub-region, Gigondas. The diversity of the terroir and sun exposure contribute the aromatic enrichment of the wines produced there. The average age of the vines is around 55 years, the oldest parcel having been planted by Stéphanie Eugène's great-grandfather in 1901. The dominant grape variety is Grenache, but Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault are also present, obtaining low yields as a result of little human intervention in the vineyard, maintaining respect for the environment and characteristics of the grape varieties.
The wines are produced in a modern and efficient winery, taking advantage of the gravitational resource and also traditional vinification methods, enabling a quality final product with great ageing potential. The wines are also not filtered before bottling, which contributes to enhancing both the aromatic and tannic complexity.
