Clos du Joncuas 2022 Gigondas

80% Grenache with Mourvedre, Cinsault and Syrah, on Triassic clay/limestone soils, always farmed organically. Whole cluster fermentation in vat with 12 months aging in large old barrels. "dark red; the nose has a savoury, sweetly herbal, sage and onion style aroma, a note of red meat droplets, red berry fruit present. The palate links well to the nose, serves a well presented run of red fruits, has a little inky coolness and tannins that are comfortably slotted in.... bears mineral in its roots, a good touch, that." DrinkRhone. A bit more forward than the 2019 or 2020, but please decant or open in advance if drinking now - this lovely Gigondas will give great enjoyment over the next 20 years!
