This little hilltop village is surrounded by around 1,300 hectares of vineyards, the reason that most people may have come across its name.
Home to around 700 inhabitants, the ruins of a medieval castle and church overlook the houses below.
Gigondas has been lovingly looked after by a local association of volunteers, making sure that any restorations and repairs are in keeping with the local heritage and style of the buildings already there, some of which date back to the 1600's.
Wine is believed to have been cultivated in Gigondas for around 2,000 years and back in 1971 it was the first region to gain the “Cru des Côtes du Rhône” appellation. Its full bodied and robust flavour is what makes it so popular, and its definitely on our list of favourites.
