Gigondas

Dauvergne Ranvier - Gigondas Grand Vin 2022

"A Gigondas that calls for sharing".

"Powerful, infused with dark berries and malty notes, the singular nose bears the hallmark of 18 months' barrel ageing. This is reflected in a full-bodied, heady, well-structured palate, tautened by a fine saline note that retains just the right amount of freshness. A promising balance that doesn't forget gourmandise, as is often the case with this inspired wine merchant". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

Xavier Vignon - Gigondas 2019

4.1/5 (8 reviews)

"All the beauty of Gigondas' exceptional terroirs in one bottle".

"Swirls of dark raspberry ice cream and dark chocolate combine in Vignon's 2019 Gigondas [...]. Aged in a large wooden vat, there are no overt oak aromas or flavors, just the purity of old-vine fruit, creamy tannins, great concentration and a bright, vibrant, long finish. With its combination of intensity and tension, it should drink well for a decade or more." (Wine Advocate 2020)

Moulin de la Gardette - Gigondas Ventabren 2021

"Haute couture Gigondas with incredible fruitiness and beautiful acidity!"

"Sparkling ruby red. Clear aromas of cherry, raspberry and lavender are accompanied by a touch of spicy white pepper. Soft and lively on the palate, it offers juicy flavors of red fruit and spice cake, as well as a deeper sensation of candied licorice. The finish is savory and impressively long, with a spicy resonance and soft, slowly developing tannins." (Vinous 2023). A complex red combining finesse and character!

Moulin de la Gardette - Gigondas Tradition 2021

5/5 (1 review)

"Tradition is good with this cuvée of red fruits and pepper!"

"I always love wines from this estate and the Gigondas Tradition 2021, a classic wine, should be exceptional. With pretty strawberries and assorted red fruits, some peppery garrigue and floral notes, medium body and ripe, polished tannins, it shows the elegant, supple side of the vintage and will drink nicely straight from the bottle." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023)

Pierre Amadieu - Gigondas Le Pas de l'Aigle 2021

"Royal with its deep notes of spice and black fruit!"

"Gigondas Le Pas De L'Aigle 2021, the flagship of this formidable domaine, is almost entirely Grenache (with 10% Syrah) and benefits from longer ageing in foudre. This beauty has a gorgeous nose of ripe black raspberries, blackberries, sandalwood and Provençal garrigue. Although in the fresher, medium-bodied style of the vintage, it has tremendous mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins and an excellent finish. The 2021 vintage in Gigondas couldn't be better, and this wine has plenty of appeal today, but will evolve well for a good decade." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023)

Domaine Raspail-Ay - Gigondas 2021

4.3/5 (9 reviews)

"Intensity and complexity in your glass!"

"Deep, brilliant ruby red. Aromas of raspberry, cherry and flowers are complemented by notes of botanical herbs and white pepper. On the palate, it's pleasantly smooth and energetic, with intense flavors of red fruit, lavender and spice cake. Silky, tightly-knit tannins frame a smooth finish with impressive length that leaves behind hints of red fruit liqueur and floral notes." (Vinous 2023)

Domaine Brusset - Gigondas Les Hauts de Montmirail 2022

"A flagship vintage

"A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre, Gigondas Les Hauts De Montmirail 2022 comes from high-altitude terraces and limestone soils. Aromas of darker berries, leather, graphite, camphor, violets and hints of spring flowers define the flavors, and the palate is medium to full-bodied, with a tight, concentrated and incredibly pure style. It shines with incredible purity and elegance and should gain some weight and richness with 3-5 years of cellaring." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023)

M. Chapoutier - Gigondas Les Jocasses 2022

"A great success

"Gigondas Jocasses 2022 offers intense aromas of spice box, black cherry and strawberry, complemented by hints of garrigue. A medium-bodied wine, concentrated and juicy." (Vinous 2023). A beautifully structured cuvée with a very pleasant bouquet.

Alain Jaume - Gigondas Terrasses de Montmirail 2020

5/5 (1 review)

"A balanced, gourmet Gigondas".

"A metronome's consistency for this cuvée born of Grenache (80%), Syrah (15%) and a touch of Mourvèdre. The jury appreciated its clean, typical expression of Zan, dark berries and toasted aromas. Finesse, suppleness and caressing, the palate unfurls notes of blackcurrant paste, underpinned by soft tannins and discreet woodiness with accents of dried fruit. A well-balanced, gourmet Gigondas, very much in keeping with its vintage". (Le Guide Hachette 2023).

Famille Perrin - Gigondas La Gille 2021

"A racy Gigondas!

"A well-crafted Gigondas with wild strawberries, redcurrants, raspberries, herbs and baking spices on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Harmonious and well composed, with a lively, peppery, evolving finish." (James Suckling 2023)

E. Guigal - Gigondas 2020

4.5/5 (4 reviews)

"Here's an excellent introduction to Gigondas, with the richness and spice, as well as the ample tannins we've come to expect from this appellation. The finish is long and well-structured, with excellent balance. A cuvée of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre aged entirely in oak foudre. To enjoy or to keep. (James Suckling 2023)

Clos Léopold - Gigondas 2021

"A vintage not to be missed!

From hillside plots at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the vineyards of this Gigondas are nestled in an unspoilt environment bathed in wind and sunshine. A Gem in a resolutely modern, fine style. Balanced, full-bodied, round and long, the tannins are fine and elegant. Enjoy now with duck parmentier or lamb confit.

Domaine Santa Duc - Gigondas Clos Derrière Vieille 2019

5/5 (1 review)

"Great bottle to pave!"

"There's a lovely purity here, displaying blackcurrant core and plum reduction notes, while light licorice, apple wood and red tea notes run along the edges. It has a savory touch on the finish, with a subtle minerality that gives it length." (Wine Spectator 2022)

Domaine Santa Duc - Gigondas Aux Lieux-Dits 2019

4/5 (4 reviews)

"A must-see

"This wine has a fun mix of cassis, cherry paste and raspberry coulis, while accents of red licorice, toasted apple wood and tar round things out. Full-bodied and energetic from start to finish. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault." (Wine Spectator 2022)

Xavier Vignon - Gigondas Arcane IX L'Hermite 2016

3.8/5 (6 reviews)

"From steeper slopes, the Gigondas 2016 Arcane L'Hermite is 80% Grenache, 7% Mourvèdre, and the rest Syrah, Muscardin and Picpoul Noir that aged in a submerged barrel. This is another fine wine from Xavier, with plenty of blackberries, spices, dried Provence herbs and silty soil. It's elegant, fluid and silky, with a beautiful purity." (Jeb Dunnuck)
