      Reviews:

      • Wine Advocate: Veteran French restaurant-goers will take one sniff of the 2016 Gigondas and remember the classic table-side dessert cherries jubilee. Cinnamon shadings infuse the warm black cherry fruit in this full-bodied, velvety blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. Aged in a combination of tank and barrel, it finishes long and silky.
      • James Suckling: This is very aromatic with blackberry and lavender aromas that follow through to full body, integrated and fine tannins and a flavorful finish. Tight and very pretty wine. Polished. A blend of 50% grenache, 40% syrah and 10% mourvèdre.

      Producer Information

      The story of the Lavau family, with its passion for wine and its love of the terroir and the land, began in Saint-Émilion in the 19th century. It continued in Tunisia where René Lavau and his son transformed a small estate of vines and orange trees into a flourishing business which became the country’s biggest wine producer. Jean-Guy Lavau (René’s grandson) and his wife Anne-Marie returned to France in the 1960s and took charge of a small winemaking cellar in Sablet at the heart of the Rhone Valley. This would become the Maison LAVAU in 1965. Some 30 years later, Frédéric and Benoît Lavau have joined the team at their family winery which has since become a renowned and respected name in Rhone Valley winemaking. They have secured the future of their winemaking business and completed and enhanced their expertise by becoming creators of cuvees and producers. They have purchased several vineyards in the Rasteau, Valréas and Côtes du Rhône appellations and entered into partnership with the Chateau Maucoil in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
