The 2019 Domaine Saint Gayan Gigondas Origine is a wine of impeccable structure, elegance, and balance. The wine presents a rich and inviting aroma with strong accents of cherry, boysenberry, fragrant lavender, licorice, and a hint of white pepper on the nose. Upon tasting, the palate is treated to a luscious combination of red and blue fruit preserves, complemented by succulent herbs and delicate floral pastille flavors. These elements seamlessly integrate to provide both richness and liveliness, buoyed by a refreshing underpinning of juicy acidity. As the experience unfolds, the wine culminates in a long, drawn-out finish characterized by a subtle chewiness and a return of the blue fruit and spice notes, all elegantly supported by underlying tannins.
Its expressive bouquet and ripe tannins are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating it. This wine is not just accessible and compelling but also embodies the complexity and power that are synonymous with the Gigondas region. It is a true inspiration for anyone who appreciates the artistry of winemaking.

Jancis Robinson: Gentle and sweet and very Gigondas. The alcohol is not too intrusive. A fair rendition. Drink 2023 – 2028. 16.5 points.

Dark robe: This has a grand bouquet—stylish, glistening fruit, pings of clarity, and much promise. The palate is marked by its freshness; the fruit is super clear and carries fine tannins with energy in them. It’s naked and beautiful, has a good linear shape with fruit flow around it, cassis fruits, blackberry, and very detailed length. I really like this. The tannins have crunchy notes, which linger for now, and the structure is good. Mostly destemmed.
This wine is a versatile companion for a wide range of dishes. It pairs beautifully with red meat dishes like peppered steak, lamb, and duck, enhancing the flavors with its rich and complex profile. It also complements cassoulet, dry-cured ham, meaty stews, braised dishes, lamb chops, burgers, sausages, roasted Chicken, and Saint-Felicien cheese, offering a delightful dining experience for every occasion. Serving temperature: 15°-17°C.
