An intense and explosive Gigondas from the stars at Tardieu Laurent. Minerally black fruits along with delicate florals and spice are packed into a vibrant and open, juicy Gigondas with lots of early appeal as well as a good life ahead in cellar. From Grenache vines of up to more than 100 years old, this stunning wine offers real depth as well as classical sophistication.
92/100 James Suckling (2021 Vintage)
"Charming nose of cherries, plums, blueberries and mild spices. Medium body with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Juicy yet there is texture and weight on the mid-palate. Well-composed and flavorful. Drink or hold."
16+/20 Jancis Robinson MW (2021 Vintage)
"Bright crimson. Fragrant, floral note. Lifted. The first wine of this range in which I sense a little bit of oak influence, even though none is new. 90% Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre (both aged 60–100 years), 5% Syrah (aged >40 years). From Pied-Gü, La Bouïssière, Les Dentelles and Le Cayron. 75% whole bunch. Aged for 10 months in one- and two-year-old barrels then 12 months in foudre. Cask sample. Drink 2025 – 2034
