Winery Notes:
Domaine Saint-Damien is a historic family estate in Gigondas, farmed by the Saurel family since the early 19th century and today led by Romain Saurel, with organic certification since 2012. Their Gigondas vineyards are spread across several key parcels, including Les Souteyrades, La Louisiane, Le Gravas, and Clos de la Marquise, each contributing distinct expressions of the appellation. These sites feature varied limestone- and clay-rich soils and a high proportion of old-vine Grenache, often complemented by Mourvèdre. In the cellar, traditional concrete fermentations and élevage in large foudres emphasize structure, freshness, and the savory garrigue character typical of top Gigondas.

Based on 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre and aged 12 months in foudres, the 2023 Gigondas Les Souteyrades is possibly the most exotic of the lineup from Saint-Damien. Kirsch liqueur, blackberries, exotic flowers, and sappy, garrigue-like nuances all define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel, an incredible mix of richness and elegance, and a gorgeous finish. It's another absolutely riveting Gigondas from this estate that readers should snatch up!

This wine opens with a tightly wound, concentrated nose—intense and serious—with deep floral tones of rose and densely packed red fruit aromas that hint at its power. There's a quiet confidence to it. The palate is all about grace and texture, delivering a seamless wave of silky Grenache fruit that glides effortlessly. It's both poised and gorgeous, already showing beauty in its youth.
Vinous

The 2023 Gigondas Les Souteyrades Vieilles Vignes opens with fresh violets, ripe raspberry, dried herbs and minty subtleties. Pencil shavings add more aromatic complexity. Full-bodied, concentrated and harmonious, the 2023 is a delicious Les Souteyrades, wrapping up with remarkable persistence and outstanding length. Although it needs two more years in a cool cellar, it’s still going to be approachable ahead of the 2022, which needs more time to come around.
