Lagringsprocessen er den samme for alle vine, fra Côtes du Rhône til Gigondas og Châteauneuf: gæring i store cuvéer af rustfrit stål, 85 procent modning i stockingerfade, resten i leramforaer. Omkring to tredjedele indhold af hele druer i 2020 i de fleste cuvéer. Halvt Mourvedre og halvt Grenache, delvis som blandet beplantning og altid gæret sammen. En ekstremt høj andel af Mourvèdre i denne vin; Yves Gras' søn Benjamin har gradvist øget andelen af Mourvedre, siden han kom til ejendommen. Vinmarkerne omkring ejendommen kaldes Hautes Garrigues. Hauts Garrigues' næse er så domineret af mourvedre, provencalske urter, peber, rød lakrids, mynte og skifter endda til metanol bagtil. Hautes Garrigues plejede altid at være et kraftcenter, og sammenlignet med den skyhøje Clos Derriere er den det stadig, men så meget finere end før. Saftig, cremet, tæt rød og mørk bærfrugt fra Grenache sammen med det intense krydderi fra Mourvedre. Det gør den også kraftfuld, fuld af spænding, men med smukt polerede tanniner, polerede, næsten legende og alligevel tætte. Ikke længere en monstertruck, men et meget poleret, elegant og i 2020 vidunderligt fint og afbalanceret udtryk for terroiret lige ved siden af Domaine. 96-97+/100

Wine Spectator om: Gigondas Les Hautes Garrigues

A beautifully crafted version, with both a bright, high-toned profile and a dense core of flavor and power. Offers melted red licorice, raspberry puree and warm baking spice upheld by chalky mineral, smoked sandalwood and salty, fresh acidity. Seamlessly integrated and elegant, this is just beginning to see its potential. Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2030. 95/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Gigondas Les Hautes Garrigues

Lastly, and a big step up, the 2020 Gigondas Les Hautes Garrigues is equal parts Grenache and Mourvèdre that was raised in foudres and amphorae. It doesn't have the sheer power or concentration of previous great vintages, but I love its balance, purity, and finesse. Red and black fruits, spicy garrigue, and floral notes make for a classic Gigondas that's medium to full-bodied, has ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It's a gorgeous Gigondas any way you look at it. Give bottles 4-5 years and enjoy over the following 15+. 95/100

Suckling om: Gigondas Les Hautes Garrigues

Black fruit coulis, intense spice aromas and some smoke on the nose. Powerful and robust in the best possible way, the tannins are remarkably polished for a Rhone red with stacks of mourvedre in it. Very compact core, but also excellent energy on the full-bodied palate. Bold and very structured, but there's a wonderfully delicate sweetness, too. A cuvee of 50% mourvedre and 50% grenache from old vines on the high plain of Gigondas. 75% whole bunch. Matured in a combination of Stockinger oak foudre and clay amphora. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. 95/100
