Rhone Valley Domaine du Terme

Our committee's review

A hidden gem of Gigondas, Domaine du Terme has been in the hands of the Gaudin family for five generations. Tucked away at the “terminus” of the former Principality of Orange to which Gigondas once belonged, the vineyard stretches across a plateau at 200 meters of altitude.

Its 11 contiguous hectares produce tender, beautifully balanced wines, aged simply in tanks and large wooden casks. No tricks here — just the terroir speaking clearly and the fruit shining through.

Discover this Favorite Selection of Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World, also featured in our Racines magazine for its outstanding value and sheer drinking pleasure.

The 2022 Red Gigondas is a standout from this balanced and complete vintage. It opens with precise aromas of ripe strawberry and juicy red fruits, complemented by a concentrated, full-bodied texture. The quality of the harvest shines in its depth and structure, with fine tannins and a vibrant freshness that lift the palate. This wine offers both power and finesse, making it an excellent choice for pairing with game dishes. Rated 93/100 and highlighted as a favorite by Best Sommelier in the World, Olivier Poussier.

Magnificent indeed. The 2022 Red Vacqueyras made a strong impression on Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World. Classic in style, it offers ripe Grenache with aromas of cherry and dark fruit, lifted by balsamic and spicy notes, and a touch of dried herbs, bay leaf, and wild scrub that are unmistakably southern. The style is all elegance and finesse, with power kept perfectly in check. Everything here feels poised and effortless. A great wine, rated 92/100.
