"It competes with the best wines of the vintage. The Gigondas L'Argnée Vieilles Vignes 2014 comes mainly from sandy soils and pre-phylloxera vines; the only problem is that there are only a hundred or so cases of this wine. Offering superb notes of ground pepper, crushed flowers, violets and spices, with a core of kirsch and raspberry, this beauty is full-bodied, impeccably balanced and has structuring yet ultra-fine tannins. It's hard to find, but well worth the effort" (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Over the past 15 years, the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel has expanded by acquiring appellations in the Southern Rhône Valley. A successful ambition, both in Luberon with Vieille Ferme and on the other terroirs presented. A perfect mastery of fermentation and appropriate ageing are key factors in this success.
