Château Gigognan Côtes du Rhône Rouge is a classic Rhône blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre, sourced from south-facing vineyards near the château. The vines grow on clay-limestone and sandy soils, contributing both freshness and depth to the wine.
Vinified with care in temperature-controlled vats, followed by post-fermentation maceration, the wine is aged for around six months in stainless steel and concrete vats to preserve purity and fruit expression. It shows a bright, vibrant colour and an expressive nose of crunchy red fruits, lifted by subtle liquorice notes.
On the palate, the wine is fresh, balanced, and approachable, making it an excellent match for grilled meats and southern French cuisine. It also works beautifully as an aperitif, offering classic Rhône character in an easy-drinking, versatile style.
