Domaine Gassier - Côtes-du-Rhône rouge 2020
90-92/100
Jeb Dunnuck
"The 2020 Côtes du Rhône should be breathtaking and rival all existing Côtes du Rhône wines. Composed of 75% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, and 10% Syrah, it offers numerous notes of ground pepper and dried flowers, as well as a superb core of blackberry and black cherry. It is a full-bodied pleasure that still has elegance and complexity." (Jeb Dunnuck 2022)

About the estate:
With great pragmatism and sound principles, Michel Gassier restructured the vineyard and equipped himself with the means to produce fine wines, both white and red. The prestigious Joseph Torrès vintages reach their full potential after one to three years in the bottle, while the other wines can be enjoyed in their early youth.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 06/01/2022
The palate, full of suppleness in a powerful and slender body, shows a rich aromatic presence of ripe black berries, complemented by notes of garrigue and undergrowth. It is remarkably balanced with a welcome fresh finish, with hints of violet and pepper. From a good 2020 vintage, this pleasant CDR with low tannins is ready to drink now with red tuna steaks from Sète with olives and capers. At this price, it's worth buying by the case, especially as it still has a few good years ahead of it! Rating: 3.9.
