The estate and the wine |
|
|
A hidden gem of Gigondas, Domaine du Terme has been guided by the Gaudin family for five generations. Nestled at the “terminus” of the former Principality of Orange, to which Gigondas once belonged, the estate spans 11 contiguous hectares on a plateau at 200 meters of altitude.
The vineyard produces wines of finesse and balance, matured with restraint in tanks and large casks. Here, the spotlight is firmly on the terroir, allowing its character to shine through with purity and precision. |

|
The 2022 Red Gigondas is a standout from this balanced and complete vintage. It opens with precise aromas of ripe strawberry and juicy red fruits, complemented by a concentrated, full-bodied texture. The quality of the harvest shines in its depth and structure, with fine tannins and a vibrant freshness that lift the palate. This wine offers both power and finesse, making it an excellent choice for pairing with game dishes. Rated 93/100 and highlighted as a favorite by Best Sommelier in the World, Olivier Poussier. |
