Lovely Gigondas from benchmark producer. Deep ruby-purple with vibrant edges. Nose: complex dark cherry, blackberry, garrigue herbs, violet and subtle earth. Palate: excellent concentration with balanced dark fruits, floral elements and savory notes. Full-bodied with structured yet refined tannins and vibrant acidity. Long, harmonious finish with persistent mineral character reflecting limestone-rich terroir. Textbook example of Gigondas’ serious quality. [Rhone Roots 2025, Lumiere London]
