97pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Roughly 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre from a clay-rich, north-facing site, the 2022 Gigondas les Souteyrades doesn't seem to have suffered from the heat of the vintage. Fresh red raspberries weave through its intriguing aromas, which include hints of garrigue and dried spices. In the mouth, it's full-bodied and concentrated yet silky and elegant on the lingering finish.

A gorgeous wine in the vintage, the 2022 Gigondas Les Souteyrades checks in as 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre that saw a lengthy maceration and will spend over a year in foudre. It's a ripe, powerful Gigondas with medium to full-bodied richness, notes of ripe strawberries, black raspberries, exotic spice, and flowers, a terrific sense of freshness and purity, fine tannins, and a great finish. Readers should snatch up this sensational 2022.

The 2022 Gigondas Les Souteyrades Vieilles Vignes integrates its 15.2% alcohol better than the Vieilles Vignes bottling. 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre blend neatly into a full-bodied red loaded with ripe black fruits, crushed violets, licorice and cedar. Overly drying tannins call for three more years in bottle—the Les Souteyrades Vieilles Vignes is usually more tannic and bold compared to the La Louisiane.
