2020/2022 Gigondas "Duc de Montfort" from Maison Bouachon is a classic Rhône wine with great body and character. The wine is primarily based on Grenache with Syrah as a supplement, offering intense notes of black cherries, plums, licorice, thyme, rosemary, and dark chocolate. A powerful yet elegant Gigondas with silky tannins and a long, spicy finish.
Maison Bouachon is one of the traditional producers in the southern Rhône and has long been known for wines that express the authentic terroir of the region. The grapes for Duc de Montfort come from high-altitude, rocky terraces around Gigondas, where the warm Mediterranean climate combined with cool nights produces grapes with both maturity and freshness.
The wine consists of approximately 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. Grenache contributes body, warmth, and ripe fruit, while Syrah adds structure, color, and spicy complexity. After fermentation, the wine is aged for about 12 months in French oak barrels, which provides a harmonious integration of fruit and oak, as well as great aging potential.
Gigondas is one of the most recognized appellations in the southern Rhône and is located at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. The area is known for powerful red wines with great concentration, spicy character, and longevity. The rocky limestone and clay soils, combined with plenty of sun, produce wines with ripe dark berries, Mediterranean herbs, and a characteristic mineral freshness.
Nose: Intense aromas of black cherries, ripe plums, blackberries, thyme, rosemary, licorice, white pepper, and dark chocolate.
Taste: Full-bodied and concentrated with ripe dark berries, black cherries, licorice, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle oak notes. The tannins are mature and elegant, while the fresh acidity creates a wonderful balance.

Best served at 16–18 °C. Decant the wine for 45–60 minutes before serving. Serve in a large Rhône or Bordeaux glass. The wine is ready to drink now but can easily develop beautifully for 5–8 years.
