Gigondas 2020

GIGONDAS is located at the foothills of the “Dentelles de Montmirail”. The village was a back headquarter for Roman armies, who gave it the name “Jucunditas”, meaning joy and pleasure. Thanks to its excellence, Gigondas was the first Côtes du Rhône Villages to become an AOC. The soil, continually warmed by the sun, has helped the Gigondas wine earn great acclaim. It is one of the most rewarded appellations of the Rhône Valley. Louis Bernard extracts the best of these unique and fertile soils to offer a full and generous wine with black fruit notes. In 1976, Mr.Bernard traveled the Rhône Valley in search of exceptional winegrowers producing wines of great authenticity and true to their terroir. Since then, we’ve established close partnerships with more than 20 respected vineyard owners. 40 years later, the Louis Bernard spirit is still alive and has been given a new inspiration thanks to a young and dynamic team established in the village of Gigondas.
