Winemaker Notes

Located in the town of Gigondas "Jugunda" La Ferme du Mont selected , even within one of the oldest areas of the appellation, two different and complementary terroirs composed of Grenache and Syrah, with the sole objective to offer a revealing wine both the strength of this terroir and elegance of Grenache altitude.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    Along the same lines stylistically, the 2012 Gigondas Cotes Jugunda will require more patience. The same blend and elevage as the 2011, it is loaded with big black fruits, pepper, earth, graphite and minerality as well as hints of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, structured and tannic, yet with a stacked mid-palate and excellent overall concentration, it should benefit from short-term cellaring and have 12-15 years or longevity.

With bold fruit flavors and accents of sweet spice, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre form the base of the classic Rhône Red Blend, while Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise often come in to play. Though they originated from France’s southern Rhône Valley, with some creative interpretation, Rhône blends have also become popular in other countries. Somm Secret—Putting their own local spin on the Rhône Red Blend, those from Priorat often include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.

The Southern Rhône region of Gigondas extends northwest from the notably jagged wall of mountains called the Dentelles di Montmirail, whose highest point climbs to about 2,600 feet. The region and its wines have much in common with the neighboring Chateauneuf-du-Pape except that the vineyards of Gigondas exist at higher elevation and its soils, comprised mainly of crumbled limestone from the Dentelles, often produce a more dense and robust Grenache-based red wine.

The region has a history of fine winemaking, extending back to Roman times. But by the 20th century, Gigondas was merely lumped into the less distinct zone of Côtes du Rhône Villages. However, it was first among these satellite villages to earn its own appellation, which occurred in 1971.

Gigondas reds must be between 50 to 100% Grenache with Syrah and Mourvèdre comprising the bulk of the remainder of the blend. They tend express rustic flavors and aromas of wild blackberry, raspberry, fig, plum, as well as juniper, dried herbs, anise, smoke and river rock. The best are bold but balanced, and finish with impressively sexy and velvety tannins.

The Gigondas appellation also produces rosé but no white wines.
