VINOUS – NICOLAS GREINACHER – SEPTEMBRE 2026

Terrasse du Diable 2024 – Gigondas

(92) The 2024 Gigondas Terrasse du Diable blends 90% Grenache with 10% Mourvèdre, with roughly one third whole clusters used for the Grenache. Delicate orange blossom and pressed violets introduce the perfumed aromatic profile, accompanied by raspberry coulis and a touch of alpine strawberry. Full-bodied and refreshing, the 2024 keeps neat energy throughout, with a slice of grapefruit lending added complexity to the bright finish.

Racines 2024 – Gigondas

(93) The 2024 Gigondas Racines blends Grenache with Syrah and Cinsault. It’s a little closed at the moment, as is quite typical for this cuvée at this age, gradually revealing orange rind, black cherry, wild strawberry and spicy accents. Full-bodied and wrapped around ripe tannins that provide firm structure, this is such a classy Racines.

Gigondas Blanc 2025 – Gigondas

(89) The 2025 Gigondas Blanc leads with mid-intensity lemon flesh, yellow apple, spicy undertones and wet stone. Medium-to full-bodied, creamy in texture and refreshing, the 2025 gains appealing roundness on the palate. Subtle apple skin accents surface on the clean finish.

Terrasse du Diable 2025 – Gigondas

(91-93) The 2025 Gigondas Terrasse du Diable with black cherry, peppery accents, subtle orange rind and crushed flowers. It’s full-bodied, crisp and refreshing. The 2025 shows a little more ripeness and generosity than the 2024 tasted alongside, yet retains the typicity and finesse that define this cuvée.

Racines 2025 – Gigondas

(92-94) The 2025 Gigondas Racines unfurls with spicy inflections, black berry, raspberry and dried flowers. This barrel sample needs time in the glass, gaining aromatic breadth with air. The 2025 is full-bodied and dense with outstanding potential.
