Domaine Saint Damien Gigondas rose 2023

80% CINSAULT, 20% SYRAH

Winemaker Joël Saurel, the youngest of 7 children, grew up in the vineyards that his family has been farming since 1821. For generations the grapes were sold to negociants until the 1990s when Joël began producing estate wines under the name Domaine Saint Damien. It is still a family-run business today, Joël’s son Romain joined the team in 2013 after completing his wine training and oenology studies. They cultivate over 100 acres of certified organic vineyards throughout the Rhone Valley with nearly 40 acres planted in Gigondas where the grapes for this rosé are sourced. Crisp and dry with notes of watermelon, raspberry, honeydew melon, and citrus zest with a bright, refreshing finish.
