Gour de Chaulé 2023 "Numéro Huit" Gigondas

(Arrives Late Nov) "This is a top Gigondas address, with vineyards near the sandy zones of the appellation. Under daughter Stephanie Fumoso, the wines became fresher and more elegant, and her talented son Paul is also finding finesse and purity in the wines since his arrival on the domaine in 2018. "Le Numero Huit" is 99% Grenache, 1% Mourvèdre from sandy soils, part destemmed, light pumping overs, raised in Nomblot concrete egg 18 months." All about elegance rather than weight, this is a lighter, fresher stle of Gigondas that is quite lovely in 2023. "Silky in texture and elegant to the core...almost weightless on the palate, this is such a gorgeous Numero Huit..." says Vinous
