The Domaine Saint François Xavier was created in the early 20th century by François Xavier Lambert in Gigondas at the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Today, the domaine is run by the Gras family, and it is only recently that Jean-François and Christian Gras decided to bottle their own wines.
The 28 hectares of vines are planted to 70% Grenache Noir, 15% Syrah, and 15% Mourvedre on the typical red alluvial clay that gives depth and richness to the wines of the area. Grapes are grown using the “lutte raisonnée” methodology that limits use of interventions in the vineyards, and vinification is traditional.
Beautiful purple red in colour. Notes of Morello cherry, hazelnut, toast and liquorice come through on the nose. The palate shows elegant aromas of raspberry fruit. Sweetness and intensity unfold and develop over time. A structure characterised by velvety notes which enhance this exquisite Cru.
