Description

Gigondas E. Guigal, Southern Rhone, France, 2019

Grapes: 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, aged for 2 years in oak foudres, of which 50% is new oak.

Purple in colour with an intense nose dominated by peach and apricot with liquorice and notes of undergrowth. Generous, powerful and full-bodied with a long elegant finish. A frank attack, racy with soft tannic structure. Grown on ancient alluvia, red clay and gravel on the slopes with the average age of the vines being 40 years.

"Medium/full-bodied, ripe, round, forward, and packed with sweet, peppery kirsch, plums, and cherries, you can enjoy this on release for all of its delicious upfront, red fruits, and round textures. Drink from 2022-2030."

91/100 points, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, August 2022

"This wine provides a wonderful introduction to the region, especially for the price-point within its class. Juicy ripe rhubarb, wild strawberry, blackberry and savory herbs coat the palate with an impressive saline finish. Enjoy its youthful concentration now or cellar through 2030+"

93/100 points, WINE ENTHUSIAST, May 2023

Great with red meat, game and cheese.
