"The 2023 Gigondas Clovis Saurel is 100% Grenache that saw an extended maceration in concrete tanks followed by 15 months in demi-muids. Also gorgeous, with sweet cherries, black raspberries, black pepper, Provençal garrigue, and spring flowers all emerging from the glass, it's medium to full-bodied and has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, beautifully integrated acidity, fine tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish. It's incredibly well-balanced and is just a stunning example of old vine Grenache from this magical region. Drink bottles over the coming 15 years or so. Drink 2026-2041." (www.jebdunnuck.com)
