“Made from Grenache and Syrah, the 2023 Gigondas Le Fauquet is slightly darker and earthier, with notes of red and black fruits, ground pepper, dried herbs, graphite, and a hint of violet. It is another beautifully pure, balanced, and elegant wine from this talented team, offering ripe tannins, a solid backbone of acidity, and an excellent finish.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

About the wine:
Ripe red berries, violets, dried herbs, and leafy notes define the Gigondas Le Fauquet 2023, an excellent follow-up to the multifaceted 2022 vintage I tasted last year. Full-bodied, fresh, and flavorful, the inviting 2023 finishes with a long, spicy note. Give it another two years in the bottle so it can reach its full potential.
