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

There are few wine regions in the world with a history as long and illustrious as that of the Rhone Valley in France. For over two thousand years, wines have been produced in this region, benefited by the excellent, mineral-rich soils of the region, and the varied climate which allows a wide range of grape varietals to grow. The Rhone Valley is now split into two quite separate regions, with the north part being characterized by its cooler, continental climate and the limited number of grape varietals grown, and the southern sub-region being perfect for growing a wide range of grapes, and producing an exciting number of different wine styles. The Rhone Valley is associated with elegant, flavorful wines, and certain grape varietals such as Viognier and Syrah, which are adept at expressing the finer features of their terroir.
