The estate and the wine |
|
|
Jean-Baptiste Meunier brings precision and balance to the high-altitude terroirs of Gigondas, crafting wines at Moulin de la Gardette that embody both character and harmony. With their depth, supple texture, and vibrant fruit aromas, his wines have solidified the estate’s position as a benchmark for the appellation. |
|
|
| |
|
Balancing its sunny character with remarkable freshness, the 2020 Red Gigondas Tradition achieves impeccable harmony. Whole-cluster fermentation lends finesse, tempering the wine’s natural richness to maintain elegance and subtlety. The palate is both supple and full-bodied, with refined tannins and complex layers of black truffle, tapenade, chocolate, spices, and garrigue. A standout success of the vintage. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee. |
