Universal Domaine La Bouissiere Gigondas - Beat The Rush [3Ej16qkU]

Original Gigondas from Domaine La Bouissiere

Domaine La Bouissiere is not just a vineyard; it's a testament to pioneering spirit and timeless winemaking traditions. Nestled at an elevation of 1,600 feet, just below the Dentelles de Montmirail, this estate stands as the original, high-elevation Gigondas. Pierre Faravel, a visionary in the 1950s and 1960s, defied conventional wisdom by planting Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre in this challenging terrain. Today, his sons, Thierre and Gilles, continue the legacy, crafting wines that are both bold and refined.

• High-elevation terroir ensures cooler conditions and even ripening, leading to classic Gigondas characteristics.
• Intuitive winemaking preserves the true essence of the vineyard's unique location.
