The name Moulin de La Gardette first appeared in 1958 when Geneviève Jurdic married Laurent Meunier, who came from an artistic and musical family in Paris. The mill refers to the old mill that once stood on the hill of La Gardette. The enterprise prospered and nowadays Jean-Baptiste Meunier, who took over the reins in 1990 tends mature bush vines with an average age of around 65 years in 25 different parcels of Gigondas garrigue. His philosophy is to let the grapes and the terroir express themselves, so he naturally switched to organic viticulture, with minimal use of copper, working along these lines since 2000 (it’s astonishing that there are so few growers working sustainably, with respect for their soils and environment in the appellation). The notable finesse and freshness in the wines is undoubtedly partly due to the higher altitude sites of many of the parcels (up to 330m) scattered around famed lieux-dits like La Gardette, Saint-Jean, Jasio and L’Argne. In particular it’s thanks to fine soils which combine Triassic marls, Miocene sands (locally called 'safre'), limestone and clay, with the sands in particular yielding fruit with pronounced finesse and a nicely harnessed tannic content giving real ageability to the wines. Many of the vines are on tiny strips of land no bigger than a hectare surrounded by Aleppo pines, oak trees and mature woodlands whose essences fill the air with lingering scents. Whipped clean by the mistral the vines enjoy an outstanding natural environment.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-04-13T18:45:06-04:00","created_at":"2023-02-15T10:33:40-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","LK1502","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Moulin de la Gardette","Region_Southern Rhone","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Southern Rhone Red Blend"],"price":34999,"price_min":34999,"price_max":34999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42781876584586,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2019 | Moulin de la Gardette | Gigondas Tradition","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":34999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/81_0af546be-6ec3-4500-9230-f297d936a393.jpg?v=1676475249"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/81_0af546be-6ec3-4500-9230-f297d936a393.jpg?v=1676475249","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2019 | Moulin de la Gardette | Gigondas Tradition at CaskCartel.com","id":24236278710410,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/81_0af546be-6ec3-4500-9230-f297d936a393.jpg?v=1676475249"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/81_0af546be-6ec3-4500-9230-f297d936a393.jpg?v=1676475249","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2019 | Moulin de la Gardette | Gigondas Tradition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very classic Gigondas with plenty of plum and dry-earth aromas, as well as a touch of Mediterranean herbs.
