The 2015 Chateau Gigault Cuvee Viva is a full-bodied red wine from the Cotes de Bordeaux region of France. It is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes, aged for 12 months in oak barrels. The nose is full of ripe dark fruit aromas, with hints of spice and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is smooth and velvety, with flavors of blackberry, plum, and cassis. The tannins are well-integrated, and the finish is long and lingering. This is a complex and well-balanced wine that pairs well with grilled meats, game, and aged cheeses. Enjoy this wine now or cellar it for up to 10 years for further development.
