Tasting note Gigondas l'Hallali Grande Reserve
The bouquet is dominated by a spicy palate of red fruit such as plums, cherries, and blackcurrants. The taste is smooth with plenty of fruity influences followed by a very long finish. Brilliant red color.
Food & Wine
These types of powerful wines scream for food. Powerful food. Large oven-roasted cuts of meat, such as wild boar loin with herbs like thyme and rosemary, beef bourguignon, leg of lamb with potatoes, or venison roast with game sauce. Tip: decant the wine about 2 hours in advance.
Other information
The wine comes from the southern part of the Rhône.
Gigondas la Cave played a major role in obtaining its own appellation (1971) and has been very successful at various quality levels ever since. For a long time (16th and 17th century), Gigondas belonged to the “Principality of Orange” where the Nassau family ruled. Louis XIV put an end to that, but otherwise, we might have had a true wine-growing culture in the Netherlands as well.
The Gigondas Cave was founded in 1956 and contributed significantly to the region obtaining its own appellation in 1971. It is a modern company in a very traditional environment. With a share of almost 80%, the Grenache Noir is dominant here. In addition, it is the Syrah and the Mourvèdre that determine the composition of the different wines.
In addition to Gigondas, this cooperative also makes a number of excellent wines from the neighboring villages of Vacqueyras and Beaumes-de-Venise.
L’Hallali is the hunting horn signal indicating that the dogs may eat.
