Matt Walls writes: Good dark colour in the glass and scents of warm blackberries. A Gigondas with good weight and smoothness on the palate. Fully ripe fruit is balanced by grippy tannins, moderate alcohol and good acidity. Destemmed, 50% aged in new oak barrels. Drinking 2024 to 2029. - Decanter 92
James Suckling writes: Plenty of fruit to this textural, focused and well-composed Gigondas. Aromas of dark cherries, baked plums, cassis and warm spices follow through to a medium body with fine, firm tannins. Velvety at the center with more intensity towards the edges and into the compact finish. Grenache, syrah, mourvedre and cinsault. Try after 2025. - James Suckling 92
Yohan Castaing writes: Evoking aromas of spices, pepper, garrigue and dark wild berries, the 2022 Gigondas Tradition Les Grand Montmirail possesses a medium to full-bodied, enrobing and charming palate built around a juicy core of fruit and a delicately peony-inflicted finish. This blend of 70% Grenache Noir, 10% Cinsault, 10% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah was destemmed and matured 60% in tanks and the rest in large barrels. It's a beautiful wine in the making. Drinking 2026 to 2036. - Robert Parker Wine Advocate 91+
Nicolas Greinacher writes: The 2022 Gigondas Tradition Le Grand Montmirail is made from certified organic Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Distinctive hazelnut and strawberry scents emerge, followed by hints of ripe raspberry and dried herbs. This is a medium-bodied, moderately concentrated wine that shows meticulous balance. Drinking 2024 to 2033. - Vinous 90
Kristen Bieler writes: Exuberant notes of boysenberry and red cherry licorice offer an herbal lift in this juicy, plump version. Hibiscus and lavender accents add a pretty floral edge, with incense smoke on the finish. High-toned and glossy, this is grounded by ample graphite details and fine-grained tannins for an elegant structure. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Drink now through 2030. - Wine Spectator 91
Tamlyn Curran writes: When you walk into a florist shop during peony season, it has a particular smell: bruised, dark-pink-red, petals on the verge of tears, petals in metal buckets with rusty rims, petals on wet tarmac, dark leaves that smell like sap and blood. Like this wine. And a wine that tastes like it smells, but with raspberries. Tannins that feel like thick, dark-green leaves over the edge of metal buckets with rusty rims. A long spine; an elegant imprint. Drinking 2024 to 2032. - Jancis Robinson 17
