Maison Gilliard Dole Des Monts 2022

The 2022 Maison Gilliard Dôle des Monts is a classic Swiss red blend from the Valais region, composed primarily of Pinot Noir and Gamay. This legendary cuvée presents a dark ruby garnet color and an aromatic bouquet featuring ripe strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, occasionally accented by notes of mint, cinnamon, or vanilla. On the palate, the wine is light to medium-bodied and silky, offering a harmonious balance of fresh red fruit flavors, vibrant acidity, and soft, well-integrated tannins. With an alcohol content of approximately 13.6-13.8%, it is a versatile pairing for a wide range of dishes, including roasted poultry, veal, grilled meats, and traditional Swiss accompaniments like cured meats and creamy cheeses.
