"These are brilliant, layered, textured Gigondas that represent insane values."
- Jeb Dunnuck
Jeb Dunnuck's comment above pretty much sums up everything you need to know about the all-time best-seling Gigondas stunners from Domaine Saint-Damien. Year after year, they hit the mark with a track record that's easily among the most consistent in the Southern Rhône.
As the 2022s come down to their last available stocks in the market, we picked up a new parcel at pre-tariff pricing so anyone who missed out the first time around (or anyone who needs to reload) can jump on the train and stock up. As always, Les Souteyrades is a showstopper in every way. "Readers should snatch up this sensational 2022," declares Jeb Dunnuck.
Not to be overlooked, the 2022 La Louisiane may not have the widespread renown of Les Souteyrades, but it's every bit the reference-point as its stable mate, "a broad, expansive, sexy Gigondas" that's already showing its cards in beautiful fashion. To cap it off, we also secured a micro-parcel of the highly elusive 2022 Clovis Saurel, the estate's tête de cuvée. "Ripe and richly concentrated yet elegant and silky, with tremendous length on the finish, it's a beauty of a Gigondas" with 98-point potential according to Wine Advocate's Joe Czerwinski.
