A showstopper, this is chewy, smoky and broad-shouldered in the best possible way. Reveals layers of blackberry and plum matched by pronounced charred iron, dried thyme and black pepper. Shows serious mineral intensity and refined yet muscular tannins, which provide the framework and energy, while forest floor, tobacco and an intriguing menthol note mark the long finish. Best from 2025 through 2040. ... More details

A fragrant rosewater, red cherry, raspberry, strawberry and black plum perfume introduces the 2021 Gigondas Hominis Fides. Delicate wood smoke and clove aromas add complexity. This full-bodied 2021 is a bold Gigondas, displaying remarkable intensity on the concentrated palate. It comes with an elevated but neatly integrated 15.5% alcohol, lingering with remarkable length on the stimulating finish. Patience will be rewarded.

The 2021 Gigondas Hominis Fides has a more savory edge in its red and black fruits as well as dried herbs, leather, and graphite notes, with plenty of background pepper and garrigue. It's medium-bodied, has fine tannins, a terrific sense of elegance, and a great finish. It's going to benefit from just a few years in the cellar and is clearly a beautiful wine in the vintage.

Region: Rhone Valley

The southern French wine region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers for over two thousand years, with the first grapevines of the region being cultivated in around 600 BCE when the ancient Greeks arrived with their knowledge of viticulture and eagerness to produce more wine. Today, the region is famed around the world for the excellence of its produce, and has dozens of wineries making the most of the wide range of grape varietals which flourish there. In the northern sub-region, the continental climate and brisk winds coming off the Central Massif allow wineries to grow a smaller range of varietals – predominantly Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier, whereas the southern, more Mediterranean sub-region allows far more range. Here, dozens of varietals are grown for the production of white, red and rosé wines, all packed full of flavor and able to express the unique terroir they are grown on.
