Domaine des Bosquets Gigondas Le Lieu Dit 2018

Coming from a sandy parcel just beside the winery and all old-vine Grenache, the 2018 Gigondas Le Lieu Dit makes the most of this vintage and is a classic example of this cooler terroir. Gorgeous notes of kirsch liqueur, rose petals, strawberries, spring flowers, toasted spices, and peppery herbs all give way to a full-bodied, beautifully textured, elegant Gigondas that has a wonderful sense of finesse, classic southern Rhône power and richness, flawless balance, and a great finish. It’s one of the wines of the vintage. While it’s not the biggest wine in the lineup, it has incredible finesse and elegance.

The full-bodied 2018 Gigondas le Lieu Dit features licorice and blood orange accents to its concentrated black cherry and raspberry fruit. Plush and velvety, this 100% Grenache cuvée looks to be a terrific success, finishing long, complex, silky and mouthwatering. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
