Gigondas (French pronunciation: [ʒiɡɔ̃das]) is a French wine Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) in the southern Rhône wine region of France. It is primarily a red wine region, with a very small amount of rosé wine produced. As of September 2022, the AOC Gigondas appellation was extended to include white wines.[1] Considered a little brother to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the wine is moderately prestigious and can age well when treated with care.[2] Gigondas AOC wine is produced exclusively in the commune of Gigondas, in Vaucluse.
