2019 Gigondas Les Pigières, Domaine Font Sarade

A new listing with this superb, luscious 2019 vintage, the vines for this Gigondas lie alongside the garrigue, in clayey marl soils. Choosing to ferment and age this wine for 10 months in concrete tanks, the result is a transparent expression of the local grapes (60% Grenache / 35% Mourvèdre / 5% Syrah) and their terroir. Deep ruby, aromas are intense and densely packed, with red and black berry fruitiness. Full, rounded and fresh on the palate, this has power, depth and silkiness of tannins. A classic Gigondas (for drinking 2022-2025+).
