L'Impératrice follows in the footsteps of L'Arcane Hermite, a remarkable Gigondas from the 2016 vintage. Through a multi-vintage blend that combines sunny years with cooler ones, L'Impératrice once again showcases the terroir of Gigondas. With a deep garnet color and intense highlights, the nose reveals aromas of blackberries and garrigue. On the palate, it is elegant and smooth, with fine, silky tannins and subtle notes of peat and graphite. It is a sunny wine full of finesse, with a beautiful finish.
