Undertones of pepper, cinnamon gives this wine its opulent character, while hints of plum, cherry, and earthy undertones round out the profile. This full-bodied wine boasts an elegant intensity and a balanced acidity, finessed with silky tannins, resulting in a prolonged finish. St Cosme Gigondas is a truly compelling choice, ideally suited to savoury and red meat dishes.
