Winemaker Notes

An exceptional, high-character Gigondas. Look for an intensely aromatic bouquet and a palate that is both lush and precise, showcasing a harmonious blend of classic Provençal herbs, pepper, and garrigue. The tannins are evident but well-integrated, adding to its charm.

94 Jeb Dunnuck

Based on 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre and aged 12 months in 50-hectoliter foudre, the 2023 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes offers darker berries, pepper, sappy garrigue, and smoked meat-like aromatics. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, fine, polished tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It's a gorgeous, clean, complex, layered Gigondas.

Just-ripe black fruits, subtle cedar, licorice and dried herbs announce the 2023 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes. Full-bodied, round and refreshing, the 2023 captures spot-on balance and ends quite long. This classic Vieilles Vignes won’t need much time to come around.

About the Producer

St. Damien was an early Christian saint martyred in the year 287 A.D.. Later he was considered the patron saint of doctors. There was a chapel dedicated to his honor in the tiny hamlet of La Baumette, just outside the village of Gigondas, where Joel Saurel lives. M. Saurel's predecessors took the name Saint Damien for the domaine. Domaine St. Damien's cuvées of Gigondas have become the reference for classic full-bodied yet fine Gigondas, with consistent and high scores for every vintage.
