Les Racines Rouge 2022
WINE ADVOCATE – YOHAN CASTAING – DÉGUSTATION OCTOBRE 2024
(94) A dense, deep bouquet of dark cherries, flowers, spices and garrigue prefaces the 2022 Gigondas Les Racines, a medium to full-bodied, tense and perfectly balanced Gigondas with fine-grained, good depth at the core enhanced by a crystalline, delicate texture and a saline, harmonious finish. Refined, chiseled and intensely perfumed, this wine is a blend of 85% Grenache Noir (40% destemmed) and 15% Syrah and Cinsault.
JANCIS ROBINSON – ALISTAIR COOPER – DÉGUSTATION LE 5 OCTOBRE 2023
17. Cask sample. Very appealing and vibrant nose, which is packed full of drack fruit, thyme and herbal notes. A rich, dense, compact palate with lavender, garrigue and firm but succulent tannins – lovely extraction. Liquorice and leather on the textured finish. Plush and structure.

93-95. From older vines around the estate, the 2022 Gigondas Racines is 85% Grenache and balance Syrah and Cinsault, aged two years in foudre. It’s similarly ruby-hued and reveals slightly darker aromatics of black cherries, black licorice, peppery garrigue, an crushed stone. Richer and full-bodied, with slightly more volume compared to the Diable, as well as building tannins, it’s going to need 2-4 years of bottle age.
