It's slightly less concentrated than the 2019 or previous vintages, but don't discount it because it's more approachable and less of a long-term proposition—it's still a solid effort, with attractive spice and herb notes layered over ripe, silky fruit that recalls raspberries and blackberries, finishing fresh and vibrant.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLe Domaine du Grapillon d’Or\u003c\/strong\u003e evokes an authentic and beautiful family history. Created in 1806, the property has always remained in the hands of the Chauvet family. In 1893, the Chauvet family received the first gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris. This wine has a brilliant deep ruby red color with intense aromas of red fruits, pepper, spice and licorice. It’s a full bodied and powerful wine, well balanced soft tannins with a very long finish. It’s a rich and elegant wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brix26","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40312642011218,"sku":"7057067147346","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/products\/dom_grapillon_gigondas_750.jpg?v=1674619782","url":"https:\/\/brix26.shop\/products\/domaine-du-grapillon-dor-2018-gigondas-france","provider":"Brix26","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
