Gigondas is a sub-region of the Rhone in France, set beneath the jagged limestone ridge of the Dentelles de Montmirail in the southern part of the valley. WineFortune currently tracks one wine here — a still red with AOP designation — from one producer, Les Pallieres.
The appellation is built on Grenache, typically blended with Syrah and Mourvèdre, grown on limestone and clay soils at some of the higher, cooler sites of the southern Rhône. The wines are full-bodied, structured reds with dark fruit, garrigue herbs and firm tannin, long regarded as a serious neighbour to Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Gigondas holds its own AOP status within the Rhône hierarchy, having risen from the broader Côtes du Rhône Villages designation. The WineFortune price index, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over a rolling window of ninety days, does not yet publish a median for this hub, and no critics' aggregate is recorded on the sheet.
