2021 Gigondas
Domaine de Durban![- Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant](https://s3.amazonaws.com/efcheckout/kermitlynch/products/Kermit-Lynch-Wine-Merchant-2021-Gigondas-product-image-6439-medium.jpg)
The high-altitude vineyards at the southern end of the appellation, an unheralded sector, gives this Gigondas finesse and high acid purity. From their impeccably tended grapes and gentle winemaking, Durban does here what they do best, keeping the focus and precision of the terroir as well as loads of fruit and pleasure. Another feather in their cap of rouges, for sure.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
