The ultra-traditional wines that the Faraud sisters, Delphine, Roseline and Cendrine, produce at their family’s domaine are among the most classically proportioned, elegant and complex of the appellation. They also age effortlessly, as extensive research has proven to me. A single, unadorned wine is made here, and it is raised exclusively in large concrete vats and old oak foudres. The value that it delivers is truly amazing given its consistently high quality, which places it among the finest wines not just of Gigondas but of France.

Sisters Roseline, Delphine and Cendrine Faraud are the fifth generation of their family here and consistently produce a highly complex, graceful and surprisingly ageworthy wine (only one bottling) from 16 hectares of old vineyards in some of the best sites of the appellation. Yields from their vineyards, which average from 40 to 75 years in age, are uncommonly meager, often in the 20 hl/ha range (the legal yield limit for Gigondas is already a quite low 35 hl/ha), and the wine is fermented in large concrete tanks and aged in old foudres for roughly a year before bottling.
