94-95. Brambly, red fruit in this grenache-driven Gigondas (80 per cent) and there are wild herbs, dried roses and some elegant, lighter notes. Pastry-like tannins. Fluid and plush. Dense but delicate. Raspberry pastry finish. Fresh and juicy. At 250m altitude, this is lower than the Diable plot. The vines are 80+ years old. Barrel sample.
