Perfumed notes of ripe raspberry, black cherry and sweet spice glide from the glass of Domaine Saint-Damien Gigondas La Louisiane 2023, accented by hints of dried herbs and subtle florals. The palate is medium to full in body yet notably pure and refined, with polished tannins supporting vivid fruit and a lingering touch of dark licorice on the finish.
Herb-crusted lamb chops; Duck breast with cherry glaze; Ratatouille with grilled sausages

La Louisiane is Domaine Saint‑Damien’s single‑lieu‑dit Gigondas from lower terraced, red clay/alluvial soils—an old‑vine parcel dominated by Grenache (with Mourvèdre, Cinsault and a little Syrah) that the Saurel family ferments in large concrete and ages in big foudres. The wine delivers a classic, medium‑to‑full‑bodied Gigondas profile of black cherry and kirsch, floral violet and garrigue herbs with peppery spice, silky tannins and the structure to age comfortably for a decade or more.
