Masterfully steering the finest high-altitude terroirs of Gigondas, Jean-Baptiste Meunier at Moulin de la Gardette crafts a style that unites and impresses. Sculpting wines with volume, featuring succulent and pure fruit, he draws unanimous attention to his estate with a rare finesse.
Sailing among the dependable names of the appellation, he offers a delightful haven for all who cherish concentrated and fresh reds, especially with this legendary vintage that promises tremendous aging potential. |

A true southern gem! The 2020 red Gigondas Tradition balances its sunny vintage with magnificent freshness. Whole-cluster fermentation adds finesse, contrasting beautifully with the generosity of the cru, which here exudes elegance and subtlety like never before. The fine tannins and balanced structure revolve around a lovely, sappy, and fleshy juice with notes of black truffle, tapenade, chocolate, black olive, spices, and garrigue. This is a truly southern wine that asserts its substance. A grandiose bottle, promising absolute delight. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee. |
