2016 Montirius Gigondas 'Terre des Aines', Southern Rhone, France

Domaine de Montirius is owned by the fifth generation of winegrowers, Christine and Eric Saurel, who took over the family estate in 1986. They are one of the stars of Vacqueyras & Gigondas. They cover different appellations in the Southern Rhône: Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Côtes du Rhône. Following their personal life path and their decisive meeting with François Bouchet (bio-dynamic winemaker from the Loire) in 1996, they converted their estate into biodynamic and invested in the construction of a winery: concrete vats built with informed water so that the cellar vibrates at the same frequency as the location.Why do we like it?
