Only a few years ago, we could say that Gigondas, nearby and reflecting the terroir and grapes of Chateauneuf, was the great bargain of the Southern Rhone Valley. Nowadays, you have to look harder to find those values. The quaint little village Gigondas deserves some attention; the Romans certainly thought so. They called it “Jocunditas” which means joy or rejoicing, so we can guess that somebody liked the wine even then.
