Tasting notes
Ruby-red. Red berries, lavender and peppery spices on the fragrant nose. Juicy and fleshy on the palate, offering gently sweet cherry and raspberry flavors and a suave floral pastille nuance. Shows very good depth and energy on the finish, which lingers with repeating florality and round, even tannins.

Starting with the classic cuvée, the 2013 Gigondas comes from a variety of terroir and is made from 60% Grenache and 20% each of Syrah and Mourvedre. Vinified with 100% whole clusters and aged twelve months in older smaller barrels and concrete tanks, it offers classic Saint Cosme notes of black currants, mulberries, licorice and peppery spice in a medium-bodied, moderately concentrated, yet beautifully balanced style the palate. It’s ideal for drinking anytime over the coming 5-7 7 years.
Deep ruby. Smoky cherry and dark berry aromas are complemented by candied violet and cracked pepper; really shows its Syrah component. Spicy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors that open slowly with air. Very northern Rhône in character, with firm tannins adding grip to a peppery, floral finish.
Mid crimson. Pale grey rim. Thick and dense and sweet. A very well-made red wine; just not that obviously Gigondas. Difficult to score… (JR)
