Domaine Gour de Chaulé - Number Eight - Gigondas 2023
Domaine Gour de Chaulé is located in Gigondas , in the southern Rhône . The estate has been run by the Fumoso family for three generations: Rolande started bottling in 1970, her daughter Aline modernized the operation in 1985 by adopting sustainable agriculture, and since 2007, her granddaughter Stéphanie Fumoso has continued this tradition with her son Paul. The 10-hectare vineyard is made up of 23 plots whose diverse terroir and exposure contribute to creating a wide aromatic palette. The vines, some of which are centuries old, are cultivated using environmentally friendly methods, with low yields.
Number Eight is a blend of mainly Grenache, supplemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre . The wine is aged in concrete vats and old foudres.
Grape varieties: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre
