Saint Damien Gigondas La Louisiane 2022

80% Grenache (planted 1942), 15% Mourvèdre (planted 1977), 5% Syrah and Cinsaut (planted 1951). 100% de-stemmed and fermented in large concrete tanks for 6 weeks or more. Matured in large oak casks for 12 months.

‘The 2022 Gigondas La Louisiane is in the same ballpark. Mostly Grenache from vines around the estate, on the lower plain, it has a slightly darker profile as well as classic peppery herb, garrigue, earth, and floral hints. It's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, mouth-filling texture and a great finish. This broad, expansive, sexy Gigondas will shine right out of the gate.’ (93-95) points, Jeb Dunnuck, October 2023.
