“A beautiful sense of purity, with a delightful bouquet of vibrant raspberry, strawberry, and garrigue herbs. It is full-bodied, generous, supple, and velvety, yet irresistibly juicy. With well-balanced acidity and alcohol, this is a very successful, thoroughly classic Gigondas, ready to drink now or to be cellared. Sourced from a single plot surrounding the estate, only one vintage is produced. The grapes are fully destemmed, then aged in old oak casks.” (Decanter 2024)

Rated Estate (2025 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
The estate’s wine is the quintessential example of a fine Gigondas: full-bodied, vigorous, and unpretentious. With a firm, tight structure, the best vintages require four to five years of aging to fully open up. From that point on, they develop beautiful complexity over time and continue to improve for ten to twenty years.

About the wine:
This 2023 Gigondas, with its lovely roundness, is bursting with ripe red fruit, spicy notes, and a hint of white pepper. Full-bodied and harmoniously textured, this refined wine brims with freshness and finishes elegantly with a long, flavorful aftertaste.

About the wine:
Raspail-Ay, one of my favorite estates in Gigondas, produced exceptional wines in both 2023 and 2022. Subtle aromas of black fruit, Provençal spices, rich and peppery nuances, and classic garrigue notes emerge from the 2023 Gigondas, a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre, entirely destemmed and aged in old oak casks. It is medium-bodied to full-bodied, with a ripe and complex palate, ripe tannins, and exceptional length. This is a classic, well-raised Gigondas that will shine upon release, while retaining an overall aging potential of over 15 years.

Review by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on July 23, 2026
Deep ruby color. Nose: barn, hay, garrigue, red and dark fruit, fig, and plum. Also some ink, smokiness, and a hint of earthiness. Not a particularly inviting nose. All a bit rustic and rough. On the palate, ripe red and dark fruit, along with barn-like and rustic notes, saddle leather, and spiciness. Medium body and medium length. There is some creaminess on the finish. This isn’t the Raspail-Ay I remember from previous vintages. It can do better! Score: 15.5/20
