2017 Gigondas

Domaine du Durban
Discount Eligible $28.00
SOLD OUT

Gigondas boasts a wide range of terroirs that give birth to a surprising diversity of styles. Durban’s vineyard on the limestone upper slopes of the Dentelles de Montmirail tends toward a high-flying, pure style. Inspired by Jim Harrison’s writing on the subject in 2002, I offer this “tasting note”: a young man that is of lean build but has a certain warmness to his face and demeanor, round, jolly cheeks, a ready smile, and a slight hint of insecurity, as if what he offered wasn’t quite good enough, which of course makes it even better. I think I just described proprietor Henri Leydier, one of the pleasantest people I could ever hope to meet.
