Gigondas is a commune of the Vaucluse "département" in southern France.

Gigondas lies in between the villages Vacqueras and Sablet at the foot of the 'Dentelles de Montmirail' mountains. While the village was very famous for its 'eau purgative de Montmirail' in the 19th century, it is now home to famous wines including 'Chateau de Trignon', 'Domaine du Grand Bourjassot' and 'Domaine de la Longue Tocque' [Bauer, Dominique, Daniella Simons, De Provence Anders,Davidsfonds, 216p. ] .
