Chateauneuf du Pape, Vacqueyras, and Gigondas. We visited a family winery in Chateauneuf du Pape and tasted Vacqueyras and Gigondas in wine shops.

Gigondas is made from grenache (maximum of 80%), syrah and mourvedre. Jessie discovered she prefers wines with more mourvedre (remembering Rosenblum’s Chateau La Paws Cote du Bone Roan). It was a great chance to taste a variety of Gigondas.
