White

Gigondas introduced white wines into the appellation from the 2023 vintage, so it contains a lot of young vines. Those belonging to Teyssonières are much older than most, however, with plantings dating back to the 1930s. Its Gigondas blanc is an unusual blend of 70% Clairette and 30% Grenache Gris, aged half in 500-litre oak barrels and half in stainless steel for eight months. Only 1,300 bottles are produced. Matt Walls: Good freshness, the fruit gliding across the palate. Great grip and energy. Ends with salinity and noble bitters. Will be good young and with age. Heather Dougherty: Aromas of stone fruit and grapefruit continue onto the palate. Bright lemon and fennel. An interesting texture. All of the elements are here, but it needs some time. Alexandre Freguin: Engaging, complex aromas. The palate will benefit from a few more years in bottle. An oily texture, good length and a very ‘white Gigondas’ finish. The oak should be absorbed soon.
