The more limited cuvee, the 2007 Gigondas Terrasses des Dentelles, exhibits super precision, a terrific minerality that comes through the lavish amounts of black raspberry, blueberry, and spring flower characteristics, superb ripeness, a saturated ruby/purple color, full-bodied power, and admirable elegance, purity, and acidity.

The grapes are harvested in the coolest hours of the day and the wine is left to ferment in conical wooden vats at a controlled temperature. At the end of the process, it is refined for 15 months, first in new 600-litre demi-muids and then in barriques.

The vineyards where the grapes for Camartina are grown have been cultivated organically since 1988 and have been converted to a strict biodynamic standard in 2000. The grapes are carefully selected in the vineyards and harvested in 8-kilo crates.

The bouquet is intense with vibrant herbal, spicy, and fruit-forward notes. Very well structured, full bodied, quite soft, and balanced with pronounced tannins. A wine with a great personality and long aftertaste.

A proprietary, Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Big intense flavors of dark fruit and spice with a velvet soft finish.
