The estate and the wine |
|
|
Located on the terroirs of Gigondas, Beaumes de Venise, Sablet and Côtes du Rhône, Domaine Les Goubert covers 23 hectares of which around ten or so are in the Gigondas area. This historic domaine is one of the high spots of the appellation. Worked for generations by the Goubert family, it is managed by the master hand of Jean Pierre Cartier, a winemaker without equal, whose range of wines is of faultless consistency. |
|
| | |
|
On a terroir that delivers powerful wines with a meaty texture, Domaine Les Goubert's Gigondas 2007 brings to the fore its finesse and lovely freshness on the palate. The balance of this Gigondas is simply remarkable. |
