Description
These very old vines are planted in the shaded foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail at a northwest exposure. This Grenache-dominated blend has a deeply aromatic nose, with swirling sauna notes alongside wild brambles and a little spice. The palate is dense, dark, grippy, yet mineral. An impressive wine that illustrates the deep, brooding side of Gigondas with wonderful finesse.

Jeb Dunnuck 91-93/100
The 2020 Gigondas Les Racines offers a touch more opulence and breadth, with black cherry fruits as well as truffle, peppery herbs, and tapenade notes. Medium to full-bodied, textured, and also nicely structured, both of the 2020 Gigondas here are going to benefit from bottle age.jeb_dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com (Mar 2021)
