Description
A flagship single-vineyard cuvée, “Hominis Fides” comes from a unique plot of old-vine Grenache on limestone-rich sandy soils, some still on original rootstock. The 2010 vintage—balanced and slow to evolve—yields a wine of noble refinement, combining natural concentration with bright freshness and elegant depth. A benchmark expression of one of Gigondas’ greatest terroirs.
Vinification & aging
100% Grenache – hand-harvested, partially destemmed, fermented in concrete, aged 12–14 months in oak barrels (some new).
Tasting notes
• Appearance: Deep ruby with garnet hues.
• Nose: Black cherry, sweet spices, garrigue herbs, incense, bitter cocoa, hint of truffle.
• Palate: Concentrated yet elegant, silky tannins, velvety texture, long finish of dark fruit, pepper, and saline minerality.
Aging potential
At peak now, with graceful aging possible through 2035+.

Roast pigeon, veal chop with morels, venison stew, roasted root vegetables.
