Cécile Chassagne’s father helped establish the Cru appellation of Gigondas in 1971 — the very same year he planted the family’s vineyards. Today, working from those original vines, Cécile crafts classically styled Gigondas that captures the cooler side of the appellation, with vibrant raspberry fruit, tobacco, and savory garrigue notes. Fermented and aged in large, well-seasoned wood, there’s no trace of heavy-handed oak—just a pure and transparent expression of Grenache, with a touch of Syrah and Mourvèdre. This is one of the most authentically Gigondas wines in the region.

Domaine Cécile Chassange Gigondas feels honest and true to place, offering classic southern Rhône character without excess. Aromas of fresh rosemary, garrigue, and ripe raspberry rise naturally from the glass, followed by a bright, energetic palate that balances juicy red fruit with savory herbal depth. There’s a sense of restraint and freshness here that keeps the wine lively and drinkable, while still delivering the structure expected from Gigondas. At $24.99, it’s a genuine, soulful bottle that reflects its terroir and offers remarkable value.
