Gigue 2014

The Gigue typically concludes a suite – lively and uplifting. In our collection, the Gigue opens the selection of great red wines.

The Gigue presents itself with juicy cherry fruit, violets, and a hint of white pepper. Aging in amphorae and minimal oak use preserve freshness and approachability; polished but noticeable tannins typically make it ready to drink several years earlier than the Sarabande.

Ursprung & Boden

Das Terroir: Gigue

The Gigue draws on three plots and three soils. On the clay of plot C7 the Merlot takes root, carrying the fruit; the gravel of plot C13 — up to four fifths stone at depth — gives warmth, drainage and energy; and the clay-gravel of plot C12 brings the tension with Cabernet Sauvignon. This is how the Gigue stays juicy and supple while having a foundation that holds the fruit.

Which plots go into the blend is decided by the vintage; the assignment can therefore vary slightly from harvest to harvest.
