La Croix des Pins is a co-operation located in Southern Rhone, in areas such as Ventoux, Vacqueryas, and, in this case, Gigondas. This vineyard is between 300 and 350 m of altitude in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail, a mountainous area in Southern Rhone. The soil is clay-limestone and the vineyards sit along some sunswept hillsides, where the grapes ripen easily. This wine is predominantly Grenache, with other Rhone varietals blended in. The wine is full of black cherry and candied raspberries, with a touch of minerality and licorice coming through on the palate.
