Domaine de Durban Gigondas is a red blend of Grenache and Syrah from the Southern Rhône in France. The grapes are entirely de-stemmed and fermented in stainless steel for about 25 days. The wine then ages for 8 months in cement tank and is bottled unfiltered. This is the 2024 vintage.
Domaine de Durban sits on a high plateau in the Vaucluse, sheltered by the Dentelles de Montmirail just above Beaumes-de-Venise. The site was once a Roman healing springs destination and a fortified farm in the Middle Ages. Jacques Leydier bought the run-down property in the 1960s, and his grandsons Henri and Philippe now run it. They farm fifty-five hectares on clay, limestone and ochre Trias soils, with pine trees to break the mistral. The altitude brings a slightly cooler microclimate, which the family credits for the steady quality of their wines.
