Synchronicite Gigondas 2020

750 ml
$48
  • Biodynamic

This Gigondas, which hails from the summit of the Dentelles de Montmirail in Gigondas, is named for the conjunction of different, perfectly synchronized events, of coincidences. Synchronicity is also the symbol of the perfect meeting of plants, minerals and humans, reflected in this charming, medium-bodied Gigondas, made with biodynamically grown Grenache. The nose is seductive – with notes of ripe strawberry, cherry, and raspberry laced with flowers, dark chocolate and toasted baking spice. The flavors become more concentrated and focused on the palate, backed by minerality and balanced acidity. This wine is soft, yet bold, concentrated, but graceful and elegant with every sip. Beautifully structured, this wine will pair marvelously with steak and barbecue now, but it can also evolve for up to 10 years. 

Domaine des Florets

At the top of the Dentelles de Montmirail, 4 hectares of old vines flourish at an altitude of 500 meters on steep terrain in a magnificent landscape protected by high limestone rocks artistically carved by erosion. These are the vineyards of Domaine des Florets, nestled in a cocoon of greenery on clay-limestone soil facing North-East. Most Gigondas is made from low lying vineyards, but the vines here are very much in the mountains where the cooler, higher altitude location helps preserve the natural freshness of their wines. Jérôme Rathle, who has long experience in sustainable development and environmental protection, took over the Domaine in 2021, and shifted farming to biodynamic and organic farming. Oenologist Olivier Roustang works alongside him as a consultant winemaker.
