In 1717, the Count François de Castellanne, de Lauris, de Vassadel, de Gérard, Chevalier marquis of Ampuis, de Lagneroux, Vacqueyras and its territories universal and direct landlord, gave a vineyard to Pierre Bovis, an ancestor of the Arnoux family. over the past 3+ centuries, the Arnoux family domain has expanded its holdings to about 85 acres of choice land on the Plateau des Garrigues. In 1936, paterfamilias Aime began contracting with neighbors to expand access to nearby appellations, including Gigondas and Chateeauneuf. These wines, made by the Arnoux family for nearly a century, are made with the same care and from vines of the same quality as the family’s personal holdings.
This Gigondas give deep purple robe, its complex nose of red fruit with hint of comfit fruit, generous and deep with nice spiciness, opens in the mouth to a rich and powerful taste with elegant tannin on a final of enpyromatiques aromas.
