91pts James Suckling
Smoky and fruity nose with cherries, mixed berries, dried thyme and crushed peppercorns. Full body with chewy tannins. Spicy and punchy on the palate with lots of blueberries and plums, with fresh acidity running throughout. 80% grenache and 20% mourvedre. Vivid finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The only cuvée released in 2021, the 2021 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes is a beautiful, elegant red displaying the charming, supple, layered style of the vintage. Offering notes of Provençal herbs, pepper, and spicy red and black fruits, it's medium-bodied, has ripe, integrated tannins, and a great finish.
Winemaker Notes
An exceptional, high-character Gigondas. Look for an intensely aromatic bouquet and a palate that is both lush and precise, showcasing a harmonious blend of classic Provençal herbs, pepper, and garrigue. The tannins are evident but well-integrated, adding to its charm.
Blend: 80% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre
