In a few words ...
Gigondas, a small village that gave its name to one of the five southern Rhône Valley crus in 1971, is located halfway between Orange and Mont Ventoux. The appellation stretches across the south-western slopes of the Dentelles de Montmirail and its nearby valleys. Its sandy, marly soils (blue marl) are covered with white pebbles, favoring the sun's rays and thus producing grapes rich in tannins and polyphenols. As the vines are located at altitudes of up to 400m, this sunshine is essential to the sometimes late ripening of the grapes.

Maison Brotte - Sélection
Maison Brotte - Sélection is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 19 wines available to purchase, including the wine La Marasque 2021.
Appellation
Gigondas
The appellation Gigondas is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Maison Brotte - Sélection and its 19 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
