Intense purple colour with brilliant reflections. Nose of red fruits (cherry) and black fruits (blackcurrant), garrigue, spices (pepper), basil, with a mineral note and a lot of freshness. Gourmet, powerful and ample palate with fine and silky tannins. Elegant and harmonious wine with a nice length on the finish.
Blend: 78% Grenache, 14% Syrah, 6% Cinsault, 2% Mourvèdre
94 Jeb Dunnuck Tasted out of bottle, the 2019 Gigondas is another gem and reminds me a little of the 2010, only with a touch more accessibility at this stage. Classic crème de cassis, sappy garrigue, pepper, and basil notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, pure, concentrated Gigondas revealing ripe tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. As with the 2020, the blend is 78% Grenache, 14% Syrah, 6% Cinsault, and 2% Mourvèdre that was destemmed and brought up in old foudre.
93 James Suckling Intense balsamic and savory aromas, as well as the black fruit we associate with this appellation. Powerful and well structured with a degree of coolness that was rare in this ripe vintage. Long and complex, savory finish that’s spicy and self-confidently tannic.
