Our Review of the Cuvée
On the nose, the wine reveals deep aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, violet, and sweet spices, with a hint of mint. The palate is full-bodied and structured, supported by firm yet elegant tannins. Ripe black fruit is present, underscored by notes of garrigue, pepper, and a welcome mineral freshness. The finish is long, taut, and slightly smoky. A Gigondas with a distinct character, more vertical than sunny, that prioritizes balance over overripeness.
