Saint-Damien
About Saint-Damien
The Saurel family, which has been farming here since 1821, now owns just over 12 hectares of vines in Gigondas, and we believe these are among the best value wines in the whole of southern Rhône.
Wine Advocate calls Saint Damien “an important benchmark within the Gigondas appellation”. Vinous goes further and asserts that the Domaine “is now consistently delivering some of the southern Rhône’s greatest values in high-end wine.”

Jeb Dunnuck (96)Deeply colored, the 2016 Gigondas La Louisiane comes from single vineyard on the lower plain, not far from the estate, and is 80% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, and the balance Syrah and Cinsault. It offers a classic bouquet of dark berry fruits, peppery herbs, garrigue, and obvious minerality. Reminding me of the 2010 with its pure, straight style, it’s full-bodied and elegant on the palate, and is going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age. |

Jeb Dunnuck (95-97)The 2016 Gigondas Cuvee Louisiana is more elegant and finesse-driven when tasted side by side with the La Souteyrade cuvee. Offering notes of blueberries, violets, lavender and flowers, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, serious depth of fruit, ripe tannin and a big finish. |
