Château Gigognan is one of the Southern Rhône's great historic estates, where more than eight centuries of winemaking heritage meet an uncompromising pursuit of quality. Set across 110 hectares of certified organic vineyards, including over 40 hectares in the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, the estate produces wines of exceptional purity, balance and longevity. Every vineyard parcel is farmed with meticulous care and vinified individually in a modern, environmentally designed winery, allowing each terroir to express its unique character. Whether crafting the celebrated Clos du Roi cuvées or their outstanding Côtes-du-Rhône wines, Château Gigognan consistently delivers wines of elegance, concentration and unmistakable Rhône identity, equally rewarding on release or after years of cellaring.
Tasting Note: The 2023 Château Gigognan Côtes du Rhône is a vibrant and beautifully composed expression of the Southern Rhône. Aromas of ripe cherry, wild strawberry and blackberry are complemented by subtle spice and savoury complexity. The palate is generous yet fresh, with layers of juicy red berries, hints of white peach and citrus, supple tannins and a long, fruit-driven finish. Balanced, approachable and unmistakably Rhône in character, it offers exceptional drinking from release while retaining the structure to develop over the coming years. This is an outstanding introduction to the quality and style of Château Gigognan.
