Les Racines Rouge 2021
WINE SPECTATOR – KRISTEN BIELER – DÉGUSTATION MARS 2024
(90) A racy, taut version, with high-toned floral aromatics sharing the stage with flavors of iodine and mesquite smoke. A salty, smoky meat note weaves through, infusing light red currant and raspberry accents on a light-to-medium frame. Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Clairette. Drink now through 2027.
JAMESSUCKLING.COM – AVRIL 2024 – JAMES SUCKLING
Concentrated and silky with fine, fantastic tannins for the 2021 vintage, this is earthy and meaty with excellent concentration and a very long, firm yet polished finish. A cuvee based on grenache from vines growing around the winery. Should age extremely well. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. 95 pts

TERRE DE VINS – MARIE-PIERRE DELPEUCH – DÉGUSTATION LE 1 FÉVRIER 2024
Des vieilles vignes de grenache (80 %), syrah, cinsault et clairette complantés. À l’aération, il offre un univers de garrigue. Le cinsault et la clairette apportent une touche de vitalité, la syrah les épices et une finale un peu végétale. Son caractère est tout en relief. Il s’arrondira avec le temps.

90. As always, the 2021 Gigondas Racines is slightly darker styled, with more black raspberry, blackberry and licorice as well as peppery garrigue. Nicely textured and medium-bodied, with good concentration and fine tannins, it’s balanced, has good ripeness, and oustanding length as well.
