Deep crimson and wonderfully aromatic, this Gigondas commands attention from the first swirl. The nose brims with ripe blackberry, black cherry and garrigue herbs, layered with cracked pepper, lavender, and a whisper of smoke. On the palate, it’s full-bodied yet finely tuned with dark fruit richness framed by savoury spice, mineral grip, and tannins as smooth as worn leather. There’s warmth and generosity, but also lift and precision, leading to a long, resonant finish that hums with southern Rhône energy.
