"A top-tier Gigondas with incredible fruitiness and lovely acidity!"

“The estate’s best Gigondas, with crisp berries, cranberry, and raspberry. It’s fresh, with a hint of volatile acidity that lifts the fruit and an abundance of fine, fresh, and crisp tannins. It finishes with a fresh, slightly salty note. Long and elegant, with plenty of energy, without being overly structured or concentrated. Unstemmed, fermented in concrete tanks and aged in large oak casks.” (Decanter 2024)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Among Gigondas’s “must-haves,” the Moulin de la Gardette—with its ten hectares—is a charming estate, meticulously managed by Jean-Baptiste Meunier. Nestled between the Saint-Jean terroirs and the Gardette hillside, the old Grenache vines capture the finesse of the calcareous marl. There’s no showboating in the cellar; the estate’s owner exercises perfect control over the oak. For several vintages now, the estate’s wines have displayed remarkable natural character, with a silky texture and well-integrated tannins.

About the wine:

Crushed red berries, raspberry, and a herbal note. A silky, smooth attack with delicate tannins. The fruity core bursts with energy and purity, with a herbal note in the midpalate. The fresh, delicate, and refined finish is marked by a hint of cedar.

About the wine:

Consistently complex and aromatic, the 2023 Gigondas Ventabren is no exception to the rule, offering magnificent red fruit flavors along with spicy and floral notes that develop beautifully over time in the glass. Medium-bodied, with an elegant, nicely structured palate and fine tannins, it easily promises to be an exceptional Gigondas.
