Domaine Brusset, 2009 Gigondas les Hauts de Montmirail.

Grape Varieties: 55% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre and 20% Syrah.

Vinification Note: The grapes for this wine are 100% hand picked and vigorously selected for ripeness before the picking begins. The grapes are crushed and destalked with no yeast added (the fermentation relies entirely on wild yeasts). The fermentations lasts for 15 days and the cap is punched down twice daily to aid the extraction of colour and tannin. The wine is then aged 60% in vats and 40% in 2 - 4 year old demi muids.

Tasting Note: Deep crimson in colour, with a rich, spicy, smoky aroma, showing hints of chocolate and blackberry and a rounded, powerful palate with mouthfilling fruit.
