After 6 years this is starting to really strut its stuff and live up the exalted status of this great 1er Cru. Nose of lemon zest, lemon curd, mineral, kiss of oak, a little muted for now as a bit cold but palate is unreal. Huge density and richness with terrific acidity and freshness. Massively mineral finish with serious structure and concentration. Finish is compact and comes across as massive yet closed. Very pure and just superb quality. Very complex finish and really all the way through.Stunning showing. Great terroir. Wish i would have waited longer and i rarely say that. — 6 years ago

Very refreshing, lighter Chardonnay. Mineral notes. No oak — 7 years ago
Enough Mourvèdre to present as lightly oaked with good spice and funk. Tannins are abundant with plenty of compelxity on the palette. Wonderful value gigondas. — 8 years ago

I had this a few nights ago. I did not decant. My memory of precise flavor profile is not great, but lovely dark fruits, nice in the mouth, decent finish. If you like your burgundy bone dry, this isn’t for you. I really enjoyed it and think it’s very good quality at its price point. I’ll purchase again. — 5 years ago

[No longer a Cotes du Rhône but now an AOC in its own right and deservedly so] Excellent purity with a noticeable Syrah component. Voluptuous and refined at the same time, this is absolutely delightful. — 6 years ago
Medium body, minerality, lemon & other citrus with a surprisingly soft mouth feel. — 7 years ago

Nose is cherry flower. A hint of skunkiness but not a lot.
Palate really has not a huge amount of fruit. A tad vegetal. A tad hot. Still some juiciness. Some soft rather lovely cherry. Some good deliciousness.
Fruit is a bit soft. Otherwise I’d like it more.
I’m enjoying drinking this even if it isn’t perfect. I’m not either.
As this opens the nose gets cherry lipstick. Lovely. — 5 years ago
