Tasting notes
The 2021 Gigondas Racines is quite stimulating, opening with blood orange, forest strawberry and licorice aromas. Grassy undertones add a delicate herbaceous streak. Medium-bodied and framed by gentle tannins, this 2021 red concludes with good intensity on the sapid finish.

As always, the 2021 Gigondas Les Racines is slightly darker styled, with more black raspberry, blackberry and licorice as well as peppery garrigue. Nicely textured and medium-bodied, with good concentration and fine tannins, it's balanced, has good ripeness, and outstanding length as well.
Saturated ruby-red. On the nose, suggestions of licorice, lavender, succulent herbs and white pepper accompany incisive red and blue fruit scents. Spice-laced raspberry and boysenberry flavors show a solid mineral backbone and sharp focus. Unfurls on the extremely long, penetrating finish, featuring gently gripping tannins and resonating spice and floral notes. Made with 20% whole clusters.
