Description

Gigondas "Les Jocasses", M. Chapoutier, Southern Rhone, 2020

Grapes: A classic blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre with 8 months' ageing in concrete tank

A ruby-red colour. Characterful, robust, full bodied and earthy. A nose of peppery, strawberry jam fruit, warm and generous. Similarly, the palate is floral then spicy with superb tannic structure.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"It shows ripe red and black fruits accompanied by floral, herbal and sweet spice notes, which appear both on the nose and in the mouth. It impresses with the harmony between concentration, power and fluidity of the whole. It has refreshing acidity, tannins with a texture reminiscent of chalk and a persistent and fleshy finish, with touches of plums, blackberries and licorice."

93/100 points, REVISTA ADEGA (Brazil), June 2022

This A.O.C. covers sandy molasses, clay or old alluvial deposits with shingles. The grapes are hand-harvested at maturity and vinified in the traditional way with daily pumping-over.

Drink with lamb shank in soft spices, casseroles, or cheeses.
