This ripe, exotic, yet incredibly pure Gigondas offers incredible character and depth with no sensation of weight or heaviness. Wild strawberries, blueberries, mint, peppery herbs, and garrigue are just some of the nuances, and it has silky tannins and a full-bodied, powerful style that will evolve for 10-15 years.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e97 points, Jeb Dunnuck, January 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e”The 2019 Gigondas La Louisiane hails from a south-facing slope of clay and sand and is a blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Syrah and Cinsault, all aged in foudre. Loaded with black cherries and mixed berries, it's a big, full-bodied effort that drinks surprisingly well already yet has the concentration, length and structure that should enable it to age another 15 years or more.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(94-96) points, The Wine Advocate, April 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Saint Damien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45182552736059,"sku":"VVDAMLOUIS19","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/9370\/9115\/products\/domaine-st-damien-gigondas-la-louisiane-rhone-valley-2014_edited-1_organic.jpg?v=1683866014","url":"https:\/\/caravanwinesandspirits.com.au\/products\/st-damien-louisiane-gig-19","provider":"Caravan Wines \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
