Louis Bernard Gigondas is a classic red wine from the Gigondas appellation in the southern Rhône Valley of France, produced in the foothills of the scenic Dentelles de Montmirail. Louis Bernard has been uniting winemakers of the Rhône Valley since 1976, crafting expressive wines from across the region.

This Gigondas displays an opaque purple color with an expressive bouquet of jammy dark fruits and spices. The palate is full and well-balanced, with a floral nuance adding complexity, fleshy round tannins, and a nice long finish. The blend features Grenache and Syrah as the primary varieties.

Best served between 16°C and 18°C, this wine pairs beautifully with red meat, large game, spicy meat, Mediterranean cuisine, and ripened cheeses. It is an excellent match for herbed lamb chops or duck cassoulet. While approachable now, it will gain further complexity and elegance with 5 to 8 years of cellaring.
