long finale

"A wine that transports you, imbued with notes of garrigue and geological richness"

“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:

A blend of red berries and earthy notes, with a medium-bodied palate. Lovely freshness and vibrancy, with cherries and red berries leading to a fresh, supple finish. Balanced and lively.

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.

About the wine:

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. This is yet another beautifully pure, balanced, and elegant wine from this talented team, offering ripe tannins, a solid backbone of acidity, and an excellent finish.
