The Wine

“Proprietor Joel Saurel, backed up by the inimitable Philippe Cambie as his consultant, has transformed this estate into one of the greatest in Gigondas, rivalling the two top producers, Yves Gras’ Santa Duc and Louis Barruol’s Saint Cosme.”
Robert Parker Jr, The Wine Advocate

50 % Clairette and 50 % Bourboulenc from a new vineyard (35 yo vines) purchased in 2022 in Buisson north-west from Vaison La Romaine (not far from Vinsobres). Whole bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel tank at low temperature for 50% and 50% in 228 litre barrels. Aged on fine lees with battonage for both portions to give a little more texture to the wine.

91 Pts Treve Ring, GismondiOnwine.com 'Equal parts old vine clairette and bourboulenc. Stony and savoury, with fragrant white blossoms, silken pear, crushed stones and fennel, this lingers long with a vibrato of tangerine and lemon. Quite smart.'

About the Wine Maker

Domaine Saint-Damien is run by Joel and Amie Saurel and their son Romain who has now taken charge of the winemaking. The Saurel family had been tending vineyards for four generations, dating back to 1821, and until recently had been selling all of the grapes to negociants. In 1996 Joel resumed producing wine at the estate and in 1998 they brought on consulting winemaker Philippe Cambie. Vinification is classic with wines being fermented in large old cement tanks and aged in either cement tanks or large old foudres for the Gigondas.
