Domaine St. Damien Gigondas
Granted it’s own AOC in 1971, Gigondas is regarded as the little brother of Chateauneuf du Pape.
Domaine St. Damien is a rising star, an estate to watch.
La Baumette is the "hot corner" of the Gigondas appellation – great exposure, galets roulees like Chateauneuf. Some of the oldest vines of the appellation are in this area, and Joel Saurel owns a nice chunk of them over 100 years old. Largely Grenache (over 90%), traditional vinification (no new oak here!) and bottling without fining or filtering, results in full-bodied, complex classic Gigondas.
