Domaine d'Ouréa Gigondas "La Belle Cime" red 2021 :

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2024 (Sept. 2023): 93/100. La Belle Cime shows a more restrained expression of fruit, the limestone transcends the nose and palate. A noble tannic firmness is felt and extends the finish. A more rigid wine that never falls into austerity.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Terroir : Selective parcel from high altitude, 520 meters, located on the southern slope of the Dentelles de Montmirail, lieu-dit Grand Montmirail. It is a unique place, surrounded by green oaks and limestone rocks, with a cool, breezy, and bright climate. The vines were planted in 1982.

Grapes : 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault.

Vinification : Manual harvest, not destemmed then crushed, followed by a short infusion. Aging only in concrete tank to preserve purity and delicacy.

Tasting notes : This is a wine with a brilliant ruby color, featuring notes of sour cherries, currants, and small red fruits, with a tangy finish. Beautiful rare limestone density.

Serving & Pairing : Serve at 15°C and if possible, open the day before. Partridges with cabbage, Hare in cream.
