Interestingly, Fontavin produces wine from a significant number of appellations, Gigondas being one of them. The 50 years old vines here are located on a 400m high plateaux in the midst of the Dentelles de Montmirail. The blend? A mix of Grenache (75%), and the rest of Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Syrah, and Clairette roses (rosé). Kicking and rockin’, this wine has a larger body, displaying more tannins and masculinity. Good stuff. 87 points.
