"All the beauty of Gigondas' exceptional terroirs in a single bottle"

“A resounding success for this Gigondas made from old Grenache vines (90%) planted on plots of limestone scree. The nose evokes ripe raspberries and licorice. Full-bodied and supported by supple tannins, the palate stands out for its saline character, which gives the 2023 vintage its uniqueness and finesse. A fine ambassador for the vintage, one that can be enjoyed without waiting too long.” (Le Guide Hachette 2027)
