Goedhuis, November 2010
This Gigondas seems to have it all - a wonderful core of sweetness, round tannins, rich fruit flavours and fresh acidity. Opulent notes of dark chocolate with ripe red cherries and savoury undertones add depth and layers of fruit while it finishes lively and lifted. A characterful wine that remains balanced and focused.

Jancis Robinson, November 2010, Score: 16
Mid crimson. Lots of gas and lift and spiciness. Drier than many but with real interest and refreshment value. Slightly drying on the end but lots to savour here. Not a fullblown, full-on Gigondas - perhaps from higher vineyards? Fades a little on the end.

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.
