long finale

"A wine that transports you, imbued with notes of garrigue and geological richness."

Made from Grenache and Syrah, the 2023 Gigondas Le Fauquet is slightly darker and earthier, with notes of red and black fruits, ground pepper, dried herbs, graphite, and a hint of violet. This is another beautifully pure, balanced, and elegant wine from this talented team, offering ripe tannins, a solid backbone of acidity, and an excellent finish." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

About wine:

A blend of red berries and earth, with a medium-bodied palate. Beautiful freshness and energy, with cherries and red berries leading to a fresh and supple finish. Balanced and dynamic.

About wine:

Ripe red fruits, violet, dried herbs, and leafy elements frame the Gigondas Le Fauquet 2023, an excellent follow-up to the multifaceted 2022 that I tasted last year. Full-bodied, fresh, and flavorful, the welcoming 2023 finishes with a long, spicy note. Give it another two years in the bottle to allow it to express its full potential.
