Gigondas

Full

Cork

Good depth of colour. The oak is really quite noticeable here, but it works, helping to round out the tannins and give some sweetness to the fruit. Really quite robustly tannic, this will take time to come round. The acidity is piercing too. A highly structured Gigondas with more depth than most this year – fully ripe in flavour, which isn't always the way among 2022 Gigondas. Grenache planted in 1902 (or earlier) on Miocene calcareous sand. Single vineyard. No destemming. 12 months maturation in French oak barriques: 30% new, 30% 1-year-old, 30% 2-year-old. Unfiltered.
