Joel and Romain Saurel produce amazing Gigondas wines from very old vines around the small hamlet of La Beaumette. A powerful wine showing sweet fruit, prunes and hints of pepper, joined by hints of garrigue and liquorice. It’s full-bodied, silky and easy to drink with a smooth texture; fine fruit and structure with a lovely length.
The belief in the natural expression of terroir led the owners to introduce “la lutte raisonnée” in 1996. The vines are cultivated using sustainable methods and a reduced amount of chemicals, in order to respect the land and its environment. The soils are made up of limestone and clay with glacial deposits.
