  • Goedhuis, November 2008

    Grenache struts its stuff yet again in Eric's 2007 Gigondas. Aromatics of crushed blackberry,damson plums, granite and bittersweet cocoa coat the palate in this delicious, enticing wine. Despite its richness, there is an energy to it which gives pronounced lift and length.

  • Robert Parker, February 2009, Score: 90-93

    Made from 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, and 10% Syrah aged in concrete vats for 18 months, the opulent 2007 Gigondas possesses a sumptuous texture, exceptionally pure blackberry and kirsch fruit, a striking minerality, and notes of licorice as well as spring flowers. This is unquestionably a great effort with the potential to last a decade or more.

  • Jancis Robinson, December 2008, Score: 17

    Very sleek and polished and aromatic for a Gigondas. Just a touch of animal. Very very spicy with masses of mass. Exceptional concentration though I could imagine having to wait quite a while for this wine to mature. Drink 2014-20

Domaine Cros de la Mûre is located in Derboux, a small hamlet in the southern Rhône valley. Surrounded by lavender fields and sweeping, untamed brush and forests, it is easily one of the most beautiful landscapes in the valley. The domaine is run by Eric Michel, a passionate and determined winemaker who took over his family's vineyards holdings in 1990 after finishing his studies atBordeaux University. Many of Eric's vines are situated high up on the Massif d'Uchaux, an area that creates profound yetsilky wine due to its elevation. Its soil is made predominately from two distinct types: clay/limestone around Derboux and lighter, sandy soil around the village of Uchaux which is hotter and produces wine that are notably fruity and ripe. A believer in late harvesting, he picks his grapes at the height of ripeness enabling his fruit to be as rich and expressive as possible. To further maintain its purity, he vinifies and ages his wines in concrete vat using no oak. The results are often explosive cornucopias of fruit and are rich and long lived on the palate.Read less

Region

Gigondas

An area for red and rosé wines Gigondas has been an appellation in its own right since 1971. Though they can occasionally be more rustic, the reds are often considered a miniature version of Châteauneuf du Pape. Part of this may have to do with the same limited yield restrictions and minimum alcoholic strength (12.5 %), but they also share some of the same varieties including Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Certain bottlings can be approached shortly after release, but many benefit from several years of cellaring. Like Châteauneuf du Pâpe, aged bottles of Gigondas take on appealing gamey and forest floor aromatics which make them particularly enjoyable with roast meats.
