Domaine Saint Damien Gigondas Vieilles Vignes

The palate is powerful, dark‑fruited, and deeply structured, opening with blackberry, black cherry, and plum skinwrapped in the classic Gigondas garrigue profile of thyme, lavender, and warm earth. Acidity is fresh and driving, giving lift to the wine’s density. Tannins are firm, long‑grained, and authoritative, carrying notes of black pepper, licorice, and crushed rock through the mid‑palate. A subtle thread of smoke, dried herbs, and ironstone adds savoury depth. The finish is long, muscular, and mineral, leaving dark fruit, spice, and a persistent herbal echo.
