Ferme Du Mont Gigondas 'Cotes Jugunda'

Stéphane Vedeau grew up in the Northern Rhône tending to his mother's vineyards before starting his career in the Languedoc-Roussilion. A third generation winemaker, today he is the owner and winemaker of several notable Rhône properties, including La Ferme du Mont. Verdeau's style is distinct, described by Robert Parker as "if Chambolle Musigny were made in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.”

This how Stéphane describes the La Ferme du Mont, Jugunda Gigondas - "Strong colour, shades of dark carmine red. Complex nose of Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean spices, candied red fruit and black soil with humus. Opulent, but also very fresh attack on the palate. Matrix of tight but very fine tannins from the middle attack to the finish in an elegant and persistent way. The breeding in Burgundy piece of 228 L fits perfectly and leaves a very long tail without ever losing its freshness. A Gigondas for those who like concentrated but feminine juices.
