Another prime example of how the under-rated 2006 vintage in the Rhone delivered many wines of class and complexity. This blend of of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre/Cinsault comes to us from the Brunier family who also own Vieux Telegraphe in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Most of the Grenache comes from 75 year-old vines that give the wine great depth and complexity. Classic Gigondas.
"Medium red. Complex nose offers scents of strawberry, raspberry, fresh flowers, minerals and Asian spices. Focused and pure, reminiscent of a serious Burgundy, with sweet red berry flavors and a firming note of cherry skin. Silky tannins add focus to the long, sappy finish."International Wine Cellar 92 points
