The Gigondas Tradition 2023 is cut from the same cloth, if not a little bigger and richer than the Ventabren cuvée. Notes of ripe red and black fruits, peppery garrigue, spices, and licorice define the aromas. The wine is medium-bodied, concentrated, and full on the palate. You can't go wrong with either of these 2023 wines from Moulin de la Gardette." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Among Gigondas' must-haves, Moulin de la Gardette and its ten hectares are an appealing property, meticulously managed by Jean-Baptiste Meunier. Between the terroirs of Saint-Jean and the Gardette hillside, the old Grenache vines capture the finesse of the limestone marl. There is no showmanship in the cellar, just perfect mastery of the wood by the master of the house. For several vintages now, the estate's wines have displayed remarkable naturalness, with a silky texture and integrated tannins.

About wine:
Fresh rosemary and pine needles bring a herbaceous and resinous note to the wine. The palate is generous, with juicy red fruits, strawberries, and raspberries, lovely lively acidity, and freshness. All in all, a precise, detailed, fresh, and vibrant Gigondas that is well-balanced and authentic.

About wine:
A magnificent nose of bright red fruits. There is a lot of energy and purity in this wine. The superbly managed tannins give precision and structure with a sensation of freshness that leads the palate, with lots of concentrated red fruits. Elegant, balanced, and refined.
