Sensory Description:

This richly structured Gigondas reveals layers of black cherry, sun-ripened blackberry, and crushed violets, underpinned by notes of dried herbs, warm earth, and a touch of white pepper. The palate is full-bodied yet composed, delivering polished tannins and an echo of minerality through the long, savory finish. A wine of grounded elegance, shaped by both fruit and place.

Winemaker's Background:

Founded in 1924, the Cave de la Grand Comtadine evolved into a cornerstone of Rhône Valley viticulture when Burgundians Paul Misset and Denis Chéron arrived in 1960, bringing Burgundian expertise to this sun-soaked southern terrain. Today, Yves Chéron carries the torch, crafting wines with a deep respect for terroir and collaboration. Partnering with dedicated local growers, the family continues its legacy through a range of wines drawn from prestigious appellations like Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and Crozes-Hermitage.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve at 60–65°F to best reveal the wine’s depth and nuance. Ideal with rosemary-crusted lamb, duck confit, or wild mushroom risotto, it also complements aged cheeses and grilled root vegetables with grace.

A vivid reflection of Rhône character and family devotion, the 2022 La Grand Comtadine captures the timeless soul of Gigondas in a wine of layered expression and quiet strength.
