Floral (roses) and tea-like notes grace the nose of the 2017 Gigondas Confidentiel. It's full-bodied, firm and structured yet loaded with cherry fruit. This might need a bit of cellaring after release next year, but the raw materials tasted from vat look exceptional. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. ... More details

Vivid magenta. Ripe red and blue fruit, floral and spice qualities on the highly perfumed nose. Stains the palate with sweet Chambord, boysenberry, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that show superb clarity and strong, minerally thrust. Rich yet lively, finishing extremely long and smooth, with gentle tannins framing suave red fruit liqueur and exotic spice notes.

A step up, the 2017 Gigondas Confidentiel is a similar 80/20 split of Grenache and Mourvèdre but comes from a parcel of blue clay and sandstone down on the lower plain, in the La Beaumette lieu-dit. It’s a medium to full-bodied, pretty, beautifully textured effort that offers terrific purity in its darker strawberry and blackberry fruit tones as well as notes of cured meats, pepper, and funky earth. It’s another terrific wine from the Saurel family.

Region: Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
