Tasting notes
The 2022 Gigondas checks in as 78% Grenache, 14% Syrah, and the rest Cinsault and Mourvèdre, raised in foudres, with the Syrah in demi-muids. It's a killer effort offering beautiful darker fruits supported by some meaty, garrigue, and iron-like nuances. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, gamey, exotic, balanced Gigondas that's just about overflowing with character. I love it today, yet it has another 10-12 years of prime drinking.

Crafted from vines planted on a combination of clay-limestone, sandy and stony soils, the 2022 Gigondas offers up aromas of cassis, raspberries, flowers and garrigue. Medium to full-bodied with a juicy core of fruit, it's structured with an assertive tannic frame and robust tannins in the finish. Matured for 12 months in foudres or wooden tanks.
The 2022 Gigondas is gorgeous, bundling intense orange blossom, licorice, ripe strawberry, leafy tones and a touch of graphite on the aromatic composition. Tightly structured by ripe tannins and balanced by a lifting freshness, the full-bodied 2022 requires at least four more years in a cool cellar to mellow. That said, it’s an outstanding Gigondas worth seeking out.
78% Grenache, 14% Syarh, 6% Cinsault, 2% Mourv èdre. Aged in foudres and demi-muids for at least 12 months. Cask sample. Tasted blind. The nose is all red fruits, lavender and garrigue. The palate is broad and weighty, with marked, robust tannins and a smoky earthy note underneath. Quite an opulent and rich style with a moderate finish. (AC)
