Do you love Châteauneuf-du-Pape but are bummed because it’s out of your price range and you’re like OMG how do you know me like that and it's because we get you. So, here’s the skinny. Gigondas is a lot like Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it is a classic GSM or Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre blend, but Gigondas is a little rounder, a bit more elegant, less oaky, and generally much less expensive. And you’re like can this be real and the answer is yes. Sometimes called Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s little brother, Gigondas is a wine that will impress your friends, pairs amazingly with steak frites, and makes it seem like you have your life much more together than you actually do.
