I've heard three different versions in three days. Please someone tell me how to pronounce Gigondas. Thanks in advance.

Think CCK had it, but not sure. Where is Scoop when we need him. He ordered it for us a Les Halles, but forgot what he said. He does speak French and couple of other languages perfectly.
