Expressive notes of pomegranate and raspberry show pretty lavender perfume alongside wafts of apple wood smoke and black pepper. Fine yet substantial tannins hold a firm grip, with graphite power building. Concentrated and firmly structured on a sleek, powerful frame. Tightly wound, this will be even better with a few years in the cellar. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault.

Leading off the 2022s from bottle, the 2022 Gigondas has tons of chalky minerality as well as peppery, spicy garrigue-driven aromatics, medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, and classic Provençal red and black fruits. I’d be thrilled to drink a bottle today, and it’s going to see its 20th birthday in fine form.

Dense and complex, this wine opens with dark cherry, olive, licorice, clove, violet, and a firm mineral edge. On the palate, vibrant acidity refreshes, as fresh olive notes evolve into a structured minerality, revealing soft plum, sage, bay leaf, and stone that lingers through the finish. Built for the long haul, it is approachable now with a proper decant.
