Tour du Queyron Gigonda's Les Caves Saint-Pierre 1991
The Tour du Queyron is a 1991 red wine from the Appellation Gigondas Contrôlée, produced by Les Caves Saint-Pierre. Founded by R. Bouachon, Les Caves Saint-Pierre operates as a wine merchant and producer based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This specific vintage was bottled in Sorgues for the producer and is presented in a 750ml bottle with an alcohol content of 13.5%.
Gigondas is situated in the Southern Rhône at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountain range and stands as one of the most important cru appellations in the area. Wines from this appellation are traditionally based on Grenache, often blended with Syrah and Mourvèdre. The production from Gigondas is frequently compared to that of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, though it is generally characterized by a firmer structure and a distinct mountain influence.
The broader Rhône Valley in southeastern France has a rich viticultural history, with wine cultivation dating back to Roman times. The region is geographically divided into two distinct parts. The northern section is defined by its steep slopes, where Syrah is the primary grape in appellations such as Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage. In contrast, the warmer southern section is renowned for its Grenache-based blends.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Côtes du Rhône
The Rhône Valley in south-eastern France has grown wine since Roman times. The region falls into two parts: the northern section with steep slopes, where Syrah produces deep wines in Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, and the warmer south, where Grenache-based blends culminate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wines are spicy and powerful with dark berries, pepper and garrigue herbs.
