Gigondas
2021 Famille Perrin, Gigondas, L’Argnee Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
"A very deep nose, cassis, leather and ripe red fruits. Real density and concentration on the nose. A dense and pure palate with a softness of fruit, beautifully tuned tannins – delicate and layered, savoury and with poise and elegance – a pepper note on the layered finish. " 17 pts., Alistair Cooper MW, jancisrobinson.com

2020 Domaine de la Bouissiere, Gigondas, Font De Tonin 12x75cl
Rightly described as a 'mountain' Gigondas, as its 80% grenache and 20% mourvedre are sourced at elevations between 300 and 500m just below the Dentelles de Montmirail. Compact nose of sweet, spicy... black fruit, bay leaf and olive; on the palate liquorice, juicy black and red fruit; power, rich, pure and deeply expressive, refined tannins finishing long with great precision and freshness.

2020 Domaine de la Bouissiere, Gigondas 12x75cl
Old vines and elevation provide an invigorating elegance and freshness on a nose of juicy, red fruit grenache, leading to equally juicy, bitter, black syrah fruit on a palate that shows at once raciness, great power and depth. Wonderfully interwoven tannis, ong, peppery, juicy finish. An exceptionally unique Gigondas.
