Tasting notes
The 2020 Gigondas Les Racines comes from the oldest vines of the estate, which are located slightly lower down on the slope, around the winery, and consist of more clay soils. This cuvée is a similar blend of 80% Grenache and the balance Cinsault and Syrah. Red and black fruits, peppery herbs, and spicy notes define this solid 2020, and it's medium to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a seamless mouthfeel. It's not a blockbuster but has terrific purity and elegance. It too is perfect for drinking over the coming 10-12 years.

Shimmering ruby-red. The bouquet evokes pungent cherry, dark berry, floral, licorice, black tea and smoky mineral aromas. Youthfully taut bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors show excellent depth, and a spicy touch of cracked pepper sharpens the back half. Subtly chewy tannins build on a very long, penetrating finish that leaves bitter chocolate and candied lavender notes behind.
