The grapes grow on soils covered by white limestone which reflect the sunlight and increase the vines exposure to the sun and develops rich tannins in the grape. The wine displays great richness, flavors of cherry liquor as well as black and red jammy fruit notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe village Gigondas received its ‘cru’ status in 1971, one of only nine villages in the Southern Rhône to do so. Located between Orange and the Mont Ventoux the appellation spreads over the south-west facing hillsides of the “Dentelles de Montmirail”. The soils are composed of sand and blue marl clay. The vineyards can reach an altitude of 400m, which often means a late maturation of the berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes \u0026amp; Pairing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Dark ruby\u003cbr\u003eNose: Good intensity with notes of spices, red stone fruits, vanilla, licorice and raisins.\u003cbr\u003ePalate: Complex, powerful and generous with hints of cherry liquor, black and red fruit jam.

Medium to full body with creamy tannins and texture. Round and velvety with a juicy core of berries and cherries at the center and a vibrant finish. Drink or hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e90 points Vinous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Gigondas La Marasque is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. Much more engaging on the palate than on the nose, it offers juicy red fruits adjacent to licorice and cedar. Medium-bodied and moderately concentrated, this stimulating Gigondas will benefit from about two more years in bottle to gain more complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brotte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43645813555424,"sku":"113480","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/brotte-gigondas-la-marasque_1.jpg?v=1667944220","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/brotte-gigondas-la-marasque-2020-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
