Gigondas

Gigondas (pop. 550) lies in between Vacqueyras and Sablet at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountains. All three villages are well known for the excellent red wines. These wines are little brothers of the wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, about 20kms southwest. During holiday times the village is a meeting place for wine lovers - and it can get pretty crowded.

Seen on the left is the small bell tower of Sainte-Catherine d’Alexandrie, a church dating back to the 11th century.
