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

For over two thousand years, the southern French region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers and wineries of many different types. The ancient Greeks were the first to discover that a wide range of grape varietals can flourish in the rich soils and micro-climates which typify the region, and little has changed to this day. In the modern age, the Rhone Valley is recognized around the world as the home of excellent quality white, red and rosé wines, as well as some of the most highly respected blended wines on earth. The region is split into two distinctive sub-regions, with the cooler, continental northern sub-region producing primarily Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines of exquisite quality, and the hotter southern sub-region growing a much wider variety of grapes.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
