This Domaine de Piaugier Gigondas is a delicious bottle, at a price that doesn't come around often, if ever, for this caliber of juice. It's smooth as silk, with beautifully integrated tannins, and a hearty earthiness. Braised lamb shanks with cippoline onions, carrots and a sprinkling of pancettta are a terrific pairing. Serve them over garlic mashed potatoes or "fauxtatoes" of creamy, mashed cauliflower. Cheers wine lovers!

Wine Enthusiast: "Curls of dark chocolate, shaved cinnamon and truffle lend a spicy, smoky intensity to fresh, cutting red plum and raspberry flavors here. Full bodied and high impact in flavor, it's a juicy, lusciously concentrated blend of organically farmed Grenache, Mourvédre and Syrah that's ready to drink now but likely to improve further through 2030 at least."
