Framboise, wild strawberries, loamy soils, spice, and dried rose notes all emerge from the 2022 Gigondas Le Lieu-Dit, another incredibly pure, elegant wine from Brechet. With medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, seamless mouthfeel, and ultra-fine tannins, this beauty is all about finesse and elegance without sacrificing richness and depth.

93/95

The gorgeous 2022 Gigondas Le Lieu Dit dazzles right away. Pronounced raspberry and strawberry notes mingle with scents of mango, fresh mint and a dash of white pepper. Look out for this single-varietal Grenache—it bursts with personality and complexity. Despite its 15.4% alcohol and full body, this 2022 red feels remarkably light on its feet. This cuvée emerges from 60-year-old vines grown on a parcel with a distinctive cooling influence, derived from its northwestern exposure at the edge of a forest. Fermentation included 30% whole clusters.

Fra et enkelt plot med historie tilbage til 1375. På den ene side en stor vin som en Châteauneuf men omvendt yderst elegant med fine røde bærnoter, varme krydderier og violer i smagen. Selvom 2022 var varmt fremstår den flot og balanceret med en yderst flot dybde.

Fleshy, driven and attractive, with aromas of red cherries, ripe strawberries, warm spices and a hint of leather. Full-bodied with plush tannins. Ample and lively, with a dense stream of berries and spices on the palate. Fleshy and slightly punchy in the long, flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Paler in colour than some 2022s. A distinctly peppery, herbal nose, it’s very aromatic and alive with dried herb notes. Full-bodied and mouthfilling, with generous red fruit flavour, then quite noticeable acidity. Powerful and richer than many 2022s, with a warming finish. A juicy, spherical Grenache-led Gigondas. Old vines planted on sand, aged in old demi-muids for 18 months.

93P+: Forbløffende åben, meget grenache her, letløbende krydret, nogen tannin, men utrolig lækker allerede.
