Le millésime

Les conditions climatiques plutôt chaudes des derniers millésimes pouvaient conduire à imaginer que le millésime 2008 serait dans la même lignée: eh bien, non ! 2008 sera d’un style que l’on pensait révolu, issu d’une vendange froide à très froide, aux maturités très lentes. Les pluies de printemps n’ont pas facilité la tâche, avec du mildiou, lequel a causé la perte d’une ... Afficher plus ›

From grenache vines that are at least 60 years old, this includes 15 percent syrah in the blend. It charms with sweet, brambly raspberry fruit underlined by dark chocolate, pepper and tobacco leaf. Firm and warming, this is a bottle to open on a cool evening with lamb shanks.

Deep ruby. High-pitched red and dark berry aromas are complemented by blood orange and smoky minerals. Spicy, precise Gigondas with lively raspberry and cherry flavors and a seamless texture. At once open-knit and energetic, finishing with very good cut and spicy persistence. This drinks well now.

Shows the firm edge of the vintage, with a solid core of sage, roasted plum, fig bread and mulled spice notes. A briary edge lingers on the finish, offering enough density to stretch out further with modest cellaring.

The 2008 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes shows more crushed rock and floral notes in its medium-bodied, Pinot Noir-styled personality. With good fruit and elegance as well as a feminine quality

A little bluer than the Guy Louis Côtes du Rhône but no deeper. Meaty and sappy and appetising on the nose with full-blown fully ripe Grenache flavours and lots of herbs and spices. Very sweet and lush. Some of 2008’s refreshing acidity and some pretty assertive fine tannins. Sweet and more polished than most Gigondas. For the medium term. Lighter than most Gigondas but not much the worse for it. Characteristically dry on the finish though.
