Familiar with GSMs and want to branch out? Maybe you're already a Cotes du Rhone lover but you're looking for something more. Look no further than two of the most popular Crus from the Southern Rhone: Gigondas and Vacqueyras. More complex than their less expensive counterparts, wines from Vacqueyras and Gigondas are made with the classic Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, sometimes with a small percentage of other rhone varietals like Cinsault. The Domaine de l'Espigouette Vacqueyras has layers of dark red fruit flavors complemented by dried herbs and garrigue, and the Gigondas has spicy red fruits like plums with notes of eucalyptus and creme de menthe. #letslearnaboutwine #wineeducation #connectingtheworldthroughwine #espigouette
