2024 Domaine Saint Damien Gigondas Les Pres Blanc

A delicious Clairette with a sleek textural feel and long, refined finish.

Made from 100% Clairette grapes. Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Elevated aromas of peach, apricot and pear mix with hints of wet stone and ginger spice. Delicious peach, pear and apricot fruits slide across the palate with a sleek textural feel. Subtle wet stone, roasted almond and ginger spice characters sweep across the back half which is underscored by fresh acidity. Finishes long and refined yet textural.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews….
A delicate bouquet of crisp Bosc pear, peony blossom, and crushed stone leaps from the glass with a vibrant, almost electric intensity. The palate is sleek and precise, powered by zippy acidity that pushes a saline minerality to the forefront, while citrus pith and fresh apple skins give it a tangy, mouthwatering edge. There's just enough texture here to keep things grounded, but it's the energy and focus that drive this wine forward. It's undeniably delicious now, but with a little patience, this one will reward you through 2030+.
