What a delicious "old school" red, one that harks back to the days when Gigondas was all about purity, minerality and - especially - deliciousness. Loads of fresh fruit, garrigue, and stony minerality here. Compelling now and for 10+ years.
For You If: You like traditional Rhone reds that deliver plenty of power and fruit but avoid going jammy or fat; you're after a wine to drink with roast lamb - this will sing!
Not For You If: You're after the fleshy richness of Chateauneuf du Pape or the silky glide of Lirac - this is mineral, lightly chewy, and nicely earthy.
"The 2019 Gigondas is straight-up terrific, offering ripe red and black fruits as well as notes of ground pepper, loamy earth, and new leather. Based off 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, and the rest Syrah, the Mourvèdre really shines, and this medium to full-bodied Gigondas has ripe tannins, a polished, elegant texture, and a great finish. This cuvée is vinified all in concrete and aged 18 months in foudre, and I see no reason it won’t evolve for 15+ years if stored properly."
"Vivid ruby. Pungent red fruit, floral and garrigue scents complement a spicy suggestion of white pepper. Juicy and focused on the palate, it offers subtly sweet cherry, blackberry and spicecake flavors that show very good depth and energy. It finishes smooth, smoky and gently tannic, displaying impressive tenacity and a late jolt of lavender."
