"Tradition has its merits with this vintage, full of red berries and pepper!"

"The 2023 Gigondas Tradition is cut from the same cloth—if not slightly more full-bodied and richer than the Ventabren cuvée. Aromas of ripe red and black fruits, peppery garrigue, spices, and licorice define the bouquet. The wine is medium-bodied, concentrated, and full on the palate. You can’t go wrong with either of these 2023 vintages from Moulin de la Gardette.” (Jeb Dunnuck 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:

Fresh rosemary and pine needles lend the wine a herbaceous and resinous note. The palate is full-bodied, with juicy red fruits—strawberries and raspberries—along with lovely, lively acidity and freshness. All in all, this is a precise, nuanced, fresh, and vibrant Gigondas—well-balanced and authentic.

About the wine:

A magnificent nose of vibrant red fruits. There is a lot of energy and purity in this wine. The superbly integrated tannins provide precision and structure, with a sense of freshness that carries the palate, accompanied by plenty of concentrated red fruit. Elegant, balanced, and refined.
