The AY family, descendants and heirs of Eugène Raspail, have been at the helm of the Raspail–AY Estate from father to son for 6 generations now. The family property is currently managed by the children of Dominique AY: Anne–Sophie and Christophe AY.
They cultivate the 19 hectares of vineyards that make up the estate, thus perpetuating the family history of the domaine.
The vines average 40 years old and are a mix of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre. The grapes are 100% destemmed, vinified in cement tanks and aged in a mix of foudres and “cuves béton”. The wines are never fined and rarely filtered. These are wines packed with fruit, and age admirably.
Tasting Note: Indulge in the rich, velvety notes of dark fruits and garrigue – a signature of Gigondas wines. A hint of savoury essence and smooth tannins add depth to the experience. This sophisticated and harmonious wine delivers complexity and intensity on the palate, culminating in a delightful and enduring finish.
