"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-bodied. You can't go wrong with either of these 2023s from Moulin de la Gardette." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
One of the "must-haves" of Gigondas, Moulin de la Gardette and its ten hectares are a charming estate, carefully 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 marls. There's no showboating in the cellar, and the owner has perfect control over the use of wood. For several vintages now, the estate's cuvées have been remarkably natural, with a silky texture and integrated tannins.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 94/100
About the wine:
Fresh rosemary and pine needles add a herbaceous, resinous note to the wine. The palate is generous, with juicy red fruits, strawberries and raspberries, lively acidity and freshness. All in all, a precise, detailed, fresh and vibrant Gigondas, well-balanced and authentic.

About the wine:
A magnificent nose of bright red fruit. There's a lot of energy and purity in this wine. Superbly managed tannins give precision and structure with a sensation of freshness driving the palate, with lots of concentrated red fruit. Elegant, balanced and refined.
