Awards: Sélection Guide Hachette, IWC Red Winemaker of the Year 2009
Black Grenache makes up the vast majority of the Gigondas Duc de Montfort blend, lending it finesse and smoothness. Syrah complements it, adding structure, complexity, and an intense color. An expressive wine, featuring ripe plum and cherry fruit with chocolate and peppery notes, and a powerful palate showcasing candied fruit and licorice. A must-have from Skalli!
