Domaine Gardiés - Je Cherche le Ciel 2018
14,5/20
RVF
This pure, supple and very fruity terroir wine is easy to digest. It marvelously manages to be accessible and airy, yet with great depth. We find ourselves between the power of the terroir, the soil and the empyrean.

About the domain :
Jean Gardiès took over the family estate in 1990, focusing from the outset on the reds, which quickly became benchmarks for the region. Since then, he has regularly delivered a fine interpretation of his Vingrau terroir, cultivating a 35-hectare vineyard with a highly fragmented plot structure that is reflected in the philosophy of the cuvées. For the past eight years, the emphasis has been on vinification as close to the fruit as possible, with less extraction and more subtlety. Whether you're looking for dry wines or vins doux naturels, you'll easily find what you're looking for here, provided you stretch your purse a little.

About the domain :
Jean Gardiés now works four-handed with his son Victor. Jean Gardiés took over the family domaine in 1990, maintaining a classic style unanimously respected by his peers. He favors the production of red wines in the Côtes du Roussillon appellation, sharply reducing the production of sweet wines, which now represent only 4 hectares of the vineyard. Spread over different soil types, the reds are among the best in the region, with good volume on the palate and highly precise flavors. Progress has also been made with the whites, which are now aged in 600-liter demi-muids to preserve their mineral character. Exemplary regularity, constant care in both vineyard and cellar, and the finesse now displayed by all the wines, guarantee the domaine a choice place among the region's small elite.
