The Story Behind the Bottle
Château Gigault was recently acquired by four like-minded quality enthusiasts, and now releases two wines – a traditionally made claret and this, their no-expense-spared Cuvée Viva. One of the four owners is Stéphane Derenoncourt, who also makes wine at some of Saint-Emilion’s smartest addresses (La Mondotte, Canon La Gaffelière and Pavie Macquin). One of America’s leading critics, James Suckling awarded the 2016-93 points and noted "a very sumptuous and charmingly ripe array of red and dark berries that build smoothly into the long, flavorful finish". Hand-picked, low-yield Merlot aged in new oak, this is a deeply flavoured, well-structured, voluptuous, modern-style claret, velvety, too. Ageing particularly well in this rare double magnum. A top pick with roast lamb.
