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 Notes: Deep and refined on the nose, with expressive red-fruit aromatics and the characteristic herbal complexity of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The palate is generous yet beautifully composed, combining ripe fruit with supple, silky tannins and an underlying freshness that keeps the wine elegant rather than heavy. Smooth, expansive and increasingly nuanced through the finish, Clos du Roi 2021 is a subtle and sensual expression of Château Gigognan’s terroir, offering both immediate appeal and excellent potential to develop in the cellar.
