2003 Moulin de la Gardette Gigondas "Cuvée Ventabren"

SKU #1019890

According to Robert Parker: "The deep ruby-hued 2003 Gigondas Ventabren reveals notes of crushed stones, dried herbs, raspberries, and black cherries. It possesses good spicy, earthy characteristics, fine richness, medium body, and an attractive size. Enjoy this elegant, restrained effort over the next 5-7 years." (12/04) From an earlier Parker review on the property: "Proprietor Jean-Baptiste Meunier owns a small estate of 17.4 acres from which he produces a classic Gigondas... most vintages possess high alcohol levels, so this is not a Gigondas for readers who enjoy wimpy wines. They give every indication of lasting for at least a decade... this estate is capable of making robust, satisfying, artisan wines that deserve more recognition."

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
Sub-Region:

Rhone

- Legendary wine-producing region in southeast France. Stereotypically speaking, Rhone wines are high in alcohol, and the majority produced is red. The northern Rhone is best known for outstanding 100% Syrah wines from areas such as Cote Rotie and Hermitage, as well as for fabulous white wines from Condrieu (where Viognier is king). In the southern Rhone, look for spicy, full-bodied wines that are blends of Grenache, Syrah, and other varietals coming from appellations such as Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, or Rasteau. Wines labeled as Cote du Rhone or Cotes du Rhone Village (a cut above generic Cotes du Rhone) are frequently found here in the US because they often represent some of the best values on the market.
