Critic Review:
'Deep lurid violet. Powerful, spice- and mineral-accented blue fruits, exotic spices and a hint of garrigue on the expressive nose. Juicy and energetic on the palate, o!ering intense cherry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors that put on weight with air while maintaining urgency. Shows superb delineation and mineral cut on a strikingly long, precise finish that leaves a suave candied floral note behind.' 95/100 (vinous.com)
'All Grenache that was vinified in tank and brought up in tronconique wooded tank, the 2019 Gigondas Clos Des Tourelles is up there with the top vintages of this cuvée and is well worth seeking out. Roughly 60% destemmed, it has a core of black raspberry fruit as well as lots of ground pepper, spice, violets, and floral notes in its full-bodied, ultra-fine, pure, seamless style. It’s a heavenly Gigondas that will evolve for 15-20 years if stored correctly.' 97/100 (Jeb Dunnuck)
