Domaine Des Garriguettes Fleur Des Lune Côtes du Rhône Gadagne AOP GSM 2023

Domaine Des Garriguettes is one of just a handful of high quality producers in the tiny Gadagne region, which has AOP status. The sub-region of the Côtes du Rhône is considered to be very high-quality, with its own specific AOC designation "Côtes du Rhône Villages Gadagne," Like the Châteauneuf du Pape, it is quite close to Avignon and sports remarkably similar soils, also bedecked with large round pebbles. Andrew Jefford of Decanter Magazine and the highly prized ‘The World of Fine Wine’ publication noted the ‘striking similarity’ between the vineyard types. He feels that the region produces wines of powerful personality, with force and intensity, and powerfully spicy notes you won’t find often amongst other wines from the Côtes du Rhône. He doesn’t suggest that the wines yet match the top Chat du Pape wines and range in price from $250 to about $2,500 hundred dollar a bottle but can see the potential!
