While Gigondas is world-renowned for its powerful red wines, a discreet revolution is taking place in the vineyards: the emergence of White Gigondas. At Domaine les Teyssonnières, we are proud to present this limited-production cuvée—a true jewel of freshness born at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail.
Our White Gigondas is a work of precision. It rests on a subtle balance between two noble grape varieties:
Clairette (70%): Brings structure, finesse, and delicate notes of white flowers.
Grenache Gris (30%): Completes the blend with creaminess and aromas of white-fleshed fruits, such as pear.
Recently praised by international critics with a 92/100 rating from Robert Parker Wine Advocate, this 2024 vintage is described as "magnificently successful," offering a long and penetrating finish.
Step off the beaten path for your summer apéritifs. The estate’s White Gigondas brings a tension and vivacity that awaken the taste buds.
Suggested Pairings: Serve it with fine tapenade toasts, cheese gougères, or a few roasted almonds. Its brilliant robe and delicate spicy aromas will transform the start of your meal into an exceptional occasion.
Thanks to its "supple fruit core" and "juicy" elegance, this wine pairs wonderfully with iodine-rich cuisine:
Shellfish: A platter of Camargue oysters, langoustines, or razor clams à la plancha.
Fish: Grilled sea bass with fennel or lightly seared scallops.
The wine's "vibrant and harmonious" finish enhances the nobility of seafood without ever overpowering it.
To fully enjoy its aromatic palette, we recommend serving it chilled, between 10°C and 12°C. It is at this temperature that the limestone terroir of Gigondas expresses its full minerality.
