Domaine Raspail-Ay Gigondas 2020 375ml HALF BOTTLE

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020

Jeb Dunnuck 93-95 Points | While not yet bottled, the 2020 Gigondas is stunning, and readers shouldn't miss a chance to buy bottles. Ripe red berries, sandalwood, and garrigue all emerge from this lush, soft, seductive Gigondas, which has velvety tannins and a great finish. 

Josh Raynolds of Vinous 94-95 Points | Brilliant ruby-red. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red and blue fruits, potpourri and botanical herbs that are complemented by an exotic spice note building in the glass. Stains the palate with intense raspberry, cherry and lavender pastille flavors that steadily deepen with air. Delivers a suave blend of power and finesse and finishes impressively long and floral, with fine-grained tannins adding a discreet grip.

Winemaker Description

Full-bodied, fruity, fine and well-balanced. Aromas of red fruits – raspberries and black cherries – with notes of black pepper, lead to more complex scents of licorice and herbs de Provence. Tannins are ripe, the wine fills the mouth with warm, generous flavors yet with an underlying structure.
