Parker om: Gigondas

Blended on the spot from several different barrels, the 2018 Gigondas looks very promising. Asphalt, black cherries and tapenade feature on the nose, while the palate is almost painfully intense, with ample weight, great richness and a long, velvety finish. 92-94/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Gigondas

Moving to the Gigondas releases, the 2018 Gigondas (which now always includes the grapes that previously went into the Valbelle cuvée) is a drop-dead gorgeous wine that readers should snatch up. Tons of blackberry fruit, peppery herbs, violets, and wildflower notes all give way to a medium to full-bodied Gigondas that has the rounded, sexy style of the vintage front and center. I love it, and while it’s going to be drinkable right out of the gate, it’s going to keep for 15-20 years. 92-94/100

Chateau de Saint Cosme

Gigondas er sammen med Chateauneuf-du-Pape-appellationen helt sikkert den mest spændende og innovative region i Rhône, og den unge Louis Barruol fra Chateau de Saint Cosme hører sammen med Santa Duc og Bouissiere til appellationens crème de la crème, og ikke kun ifølge Robert Parker.
