In the press
91/100 - The 2024 Gigondas Tradition Le Grand Montmirail reveals beautiful purity in its ripe red and blue fruits as well as peppery garrigue, spice, and liquid violet notes. Based on 70% Grenache and 10% each Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, it was aged 60% in vats and 40% in two- to four-year-old demi-muids. It's medium-bodied, very pretty, pure, balanced, and graceful on the palate, with outstanding length. Drink this classic, satisfying, complex Gigondas over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2035.
Viticulture
Stony terraced vineyards on alluvions and molasse facing full south. Yields are low at 30 hl/ha. Grapes are hand-picked and selected following strict ripeness checks.
Food Match
Grilled Cornish game hens, grilled porterhouse steaks with thyme and baked potato skins, peppered rib-eye steak, or peppered honey rack of lamb.
