A driven, focused, structured and energetic Gigondas red, showing blackberries, dark plums, licorice and baking spices. Full-bodied with sinewy tannins. It’s pulpy and lively, the crunchy purple-berry character lifted by dried herbs and peppercorns. Long, flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Vibrant fruit combined with spicy oak – this will take a couple of years to integrate. It will be good when ready, thanks to its freshness and lovely sense of purity, well-balanced acidity and alcohol. Whole-bunch fermented with natural yeasts.

Ripe and perfumy, with a polished texture, this red oozes soft black currant and lavender flavors. A bitter mineral flash provides contrast, backed by notes of mesquite, incense and singed garrigue on the lush finish. A spine of iron brings structure and drives the impressive length. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault. Drink now through 2038. 930 cases imported.

This wine doesn't ask for your attention—it demands it. The nose hits hard with cedar, scorched earth, and brambly black fruit, layered with green olive, dry lavender, and meaty undertones—untamed but grounded. The palate is taut, its aggressive tannins laying down the law early, muting the fruit but promising longevity. It's a brooding beast right now—cellar it through 2029+.

The 2023 Gigondas from Château de Saint-Cosme is especially promising, bursting with aromas of ripe black raspberries, red plums, garrigue, licorice and incense. Medium- to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it’s rich without excess, with a layered core of fruit, powdery tannins and a bright, saline finish that lends a sense of energy and poise. As always, it’s a blend of multiple terroirs—limestone, marl and sandy soils—which lend the cuvée both depth and aromatic range. This will offer a great drinking window, but a few years in bottle will only enhance its complexity.

Ripe strawberry, raspberry and orange blossom leap from the glass of the delicious 2023 Gigondas. Immediately captivating and forward, this red Gigondas is a pure delight, delivering ripe red and black fruits with spicy tones across the full-bodied palate, neatly framed by polished tannins. It closes out with a dash of pomegranate.
