The Wine

A blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre from 40-year-old vines rooted in ancient alluvial soils with red clay and gravel. The grapes are hand-picked, given extended maceration, then pressed into oak foudres—half of which are new—for a two-year maturation.

93 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate ‘Notes of cassis, mulberry, garrigue and sweet spices preface the 2020 Gigondas, a medium- to full-bodied, supple and charming wine with a layered, delicately tensile profile. It’s framed by fine-grained tannins and lifted by notes of pepper and spice, concluding with a firm, savory finish that hints at the presence of Mourvèdre. This is a beautifully balanced Gigondas with the depth and structure to evolve gracefully over the coming decade.’

92 Pts James Suckling ‘Here's an excellent introduction to Gigondas with the richness and spice, plus the ample tannins we expect from this appellation. Long, well-structured finish with excellent balance. A cuvee of 70% grenache, 20% syrah and 10% mourvedre that was aged completely in large oak foudre. Drink or hold.’

92 Pts Wine Spectator ‘A winey version, with steeped cherry and kirsch, this is ripe and broad, starting off glossy and then reined in by cashmere-fine tannins that give real textural framework. A modern, stylish, full-bodied red that's very well-executed, with roasted apple wood in the background. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2030.’
