A stylish and powerful 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.
93+/100 Jeb Dunnuck (2023 Vintage)
"A blend of 90% Grenache, 5% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre brought up two months in older barrels and foudres, the 2023 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes offers spicy red and black fruits, leather, loamy earth, and ground pepper on the nose. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, and savoury on the palate, with rock-solid ripeness, plenty of underlying tannins, and outstanding length. Give bottles 2-4 years and enjoy over the following decade."
92/100 James Suckling (2023 Vintage)
"Seductive aromas of sweet cherries, sweet spices and bay leaves. This medium-bodied red has fine, firm tannins and a dense core of generous red berries on the palate balanced by spices and herbs. Long, lively and flavourful finish."
92/100 Wine Spectator (2023 Vintage)
"A silky, suave version, powered by graphite, with juicy acidity behind its gush of ripe cherry, plum paste and chocolate. Smoky and savoury, too, with dried leaves and salty herbs bringing refreshing contrast. Energetic and driven, with power and grip on the serious finish."
