{"title":"Wine from Quiot Family","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince 2006, the Quiot Family, charmed by the Dentelles de Montmirail and its products of character, owns the Château du Trignon in order to perpetuate it, while expanding it by 10 ha of Vacqueyras and a few hectares of Beaume-de-Venise.\u003cbr\u003e\"Respectful of achievement but rich of our wine-maker knowledge, we have adopted this land whose singularity fits in with all our other properties, in the same line of tradition, quality and adaptation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe origin of the name Gigondas: two hypotheses.\u003cbr\u003eThe first one: he would pull it out of gignite undas, \"emerged from the waters\", like this mountain terroir concealing a gigantic underground reservoir.\u003cbr\u003eThe second one: of Latin origin, jucunda, which means “happy” and would be inspired either by Jucundus, the first owner of the place, or by its pleasant position and the pleasures of the surrounding hunting ... or even the pleasure of wine itself.\u003cbr\u003eThe cultivation of the vine goes back to antiquity. If the veterans of the Second Roman Legion are credited with creating the first wineries, the discovery of vats for storing wine is another clue. We then note that the oldest written mention of a Gigondas vineyard is from the 12th century. Gigondas is the first Côtes du Rhône Villages to reach the rank of Cru on January 6th 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the appellation, the terroirs are made up of large alluvial terraces of stony red clay, of Mindelian origin, which extend to the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Their high permeability allows rapid drying of the plots. These soils, rich in clay, are characteristic of the terroirs of great vintages.\u003cbr\u003eOn the estate, we have 3 terroirs: -clay and limestone molasse; alluvium with exploded pebbles; safres and sandstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePartial de-stemming.
