Produced on sandy soils, which cover a small part of the appellation, Grenache expresses great softness and is very aromatic without being heavy. This wine is full bodied but with finesse at the same time.
› DescriptionThe vines grow on limestone, calcareous marl and sandy soils, giving the Grenache immense finesse and elegance with unique aromas. › Situation
Located mid-hill, just under the village centre, the Famille Perrin vineyard is amongst the most historical vineyards in Gigondas. It benefits from a flow of cold air which blows through the valley situated to the west of the village. › The vintage

Juicy and well-built, with a solid core of black and red currant fruit wrapped with anise, graphite and smoldering black tea leaf hints. Nicely packed, but stays racy through the finish. Rock-solid. Drink now through 2020. • Note: 92/100
Gigondas is full bodied and richly flavored; a lightly tannic, well balanced wine with a long finish, tasting of strawberry, violet, toast, plum, pepper, and red currant. • Note: *****
AL - Dark purple red with violet hue and black centre. Elegant and refined fruit on the nose, backed by a touch of mild spices and minerality. On the palate great freshness, complexity, richness and elegance with good length. 94 MdM - High ripeness with very dark fruit, black- berry, dates and figs, attractive spiciness with black pepper, meat and smoke. The palate is full and intense, not jammy and without sweetness, excel- lent dark peppery fruit, lovely tannic backbone and very long spicy finish. Really good stuff! 93 • Note: 93,5/100
Bright ruby-red. Heady, seductively perfumed scents of raspberry and cherry preserves, dried lavender and spicecake. Bright, forceful red and dark berry and floral pastille flavors are given spine by tangy acidity, with silky tannins providing further support. A lithe, palate-staining midweight that finishes with very good definition and lingering sweetness. • Note: 90/100
Amazingly sweet and open and almost soft! Very polished. Sweet. Certainly not one of the most dramatic Gigondas but lots of pleasure. Just slightly dry on the end. • Note: 16+/20
The 2010 Gigondas La Gille, composed of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre, exhibits a dense ruby/purple color along with notes of crushed rocks, acacia flowers, licorice and truffles. This rich, medium to full-bodied 2010 should age for 10-12 years. • Note: 88-91/100
Bright ruby-red. Heady, seductively perfumed scents of raspberry and cherry preserves, dried lavender and spicecake. Bright, forceful red and dark berry and floral pastille flavors are given spine by tangy acidity, with silky tannins providing further support. A lithe, palate-staining midweight that finishes with very good definition and lingering sweetness. • Note: 90-92/100
Vibrant ruby. Red berry compote, cherry and potpourri on the intensely perfumed nose. Pliant, palate-staining red fruit flavors take on weight with air and are lifted by juicy acidity and a spicy nuance. Packs a serious punch but comes off elegant and precise, finishing sweet, seamless and very long. • Note: 92/100
The 2010 Gigondas la Gille has a dense ruby/purple color and sweet cassis notes intermixed with crushed chalk and acacia flower. • Note: 88-91/100 |
