Domaine de Montvac
Féminin, Pluriel
The domaine is in my family for 4 generation from mother to daugther.
Our Gigondas appellation vineyard is situated exclusively on the steeply sloped flanks of the Dentelles de Montmirail, whose formation can be traced back to the Tertiary era. Our small south-west facing plots are set on backs, which we call "Restanques" in Provence, with iron clay soils and calcareous, plaster stone outcrops.
They are bordered by pine trees and gorse bushes where each grape variety, alongside the emblematic Grenache, the Syrah at altitude and the Mourvedre in the sheltered dales, benefits from a microclimante suitable for its maturing.
This special environnement, as well as a natural low yield, enables us to elaborate, via a long term vinification at controlled temperatures, fleshy wines with wild garrigue and spicy perfumes that mingle with the varieties' typical aromas.
Through ageing in casks they become unctuous and achieve their maturity in 3 to 5 years, but may be kept 10 years or more for the better years.
We recommend them for all stewed meats, game and cheese. When young they may also be served with peppered dishes or subtle sweet and sour dishes.

You can taste the wine at the cellar of the domaine and at the caveau of Gigondas.
