“This producer has released a well-structured 2016 Gigondas Secrets des Dentelles, a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre aged in concrete tanks and barrels. It is medium-bodied to full-bodied, lacking the opulence of some others, but with lively cherry aromas, a well-defined palate, and a respectable finish.” (Wine Advocate 2018 – Robert Parker) A wine that exemplifies the best the southern Rhône Valley has to offer.
