      The Domaine Saint-Damien Gigondas Vieilles Vignes 2022 showcases the incredible depth and complexity of one of the Southern Rhône’s most revered vineyards. A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah from the estate’s oldest vines, this wine embodies the essence of the Gigondas terroir. Aged in large old foudres for 12 months, it balances ripe, dark fruit with savoury herbaceous layers and earthy spice. The 2022 vintage stands out for its freshness, fine tannins, and vibrant acidity, making it a fantastic example of the potential of the region’s old vines.

      Domaine Saint-Damien Gigondas Vieilles Vignes 2022

      Possibly my favorite of the trio, the 2022 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes (80% Grenache and 20% Syrah) offers a full-bodied, incredibly textured, yet seamless and elegant profile to go with lots of meaty dark fruits, some classic Southern Rhône licorice, roasted herb, and spice box nuances, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's another sensational effort from this estate, which continues to go from strength to strength.

      Domaine Saint-Damien

      Domaine Saint-Damien is a benchmark southern Rhône estate rooted in tradition and quiet discipline. The Saurel family has farmed these lands since 1821, but it was not until 1979 that the current domaine was established, with estate bottling resuming in 1996. Today, the estate is led by Romain Saurel, a trained oenologist who now oversees both viticulture and winemaking. Under his direction, Saint-Damien has become one of the most consistent and respected names in Gigondas, producing wines of clarity, structure and site expression.

      The estate covers 45 hectares, with 15 hectares in Gigondas, including parcels in La Louisiane, Les Souteyrades, and Le Gravas. Vine age is significant, with many Grenache and Mourvèdre vines planted between the 1960s and 1970s. All vineyards have been certified organic since 2012 and are farmed with precision and restraint. With vine density at 5,000 per hectare and low yields, the focus remains on fruit integrity and vineyard health.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Aromas of Dark Fruit and Spice

      The nose is an aromatic explosion of dark fruit, with ripe raspberries and blackberries leading the charge. Subtle hints of dried herbs, crushed pepper, and earthy spices add complexity, creating an inviting and layered bouquet.

      PALATE
      Rich, Structured and Balanced

      The dark berry flavours continue, accompanied by earthy notes of Provençal herbs, scorched earth, and a touch of liquorice. The freshness from the Grenache is balanced by the depth from the Syrah, offering a seamless and elegant profile.

      FINISH
      Long and Savoury

      Fine tannins that impart a structured mouthfeel. Notes of black pepper and herbs persist, leaving a refreshing and complex aftertaste that beckons for another sip.
