Gigondas Cuvée Le Lieu Dit er en af Domaine des Bosquets’ højestrangerede vine og kunne let forveksles med dyrere topvine i klassen. Tårnhøj kvalitet over hele linjen. Denne massive Gigondas er fremstillet på Grenache-druer høstet fra de ældste vinstokke på domænets lille parcel, der første gang blev omtalt som vinmark i dokumenter dateret tilbage til 1375. Parcellen befinder sig i det sydlige Rhône i Frankrig, hvor jorden er sandet og derfor giver de perfekte modningsbetingelser for Grenache-druen.

Jeb Dunnuck har tidligere rost Domaine des Bosquets’ Gigondas til skyerne. “The Chambolle-Musigny of the Rhône,” skulle hans præcise ordvalg have lydt ovenpå det første møde med vinen.

Vinens bouquet er eksplosiv med masser af sort, moden frugt, men rummer også spændende noter af kakao og brændte kaffebønner. Smagen er massiv og kompleks, men med en finesse, der ikke kan andet end imponere. Vinens finish er særdeles behageligt og elegant med perfekt afrundede tanniner.

Det anbefales, at Gigondas Cuvée Le Lieu Dit dekanteres et par timer før servering for optimal nydelse. Vinen er desuden den perfekte ledsager til retter med fjerkræ, kalv, vildt, lam, okse- og svinekød, men er også en helt eksemplarisk komponent til ostebordet.

  • The 2019 Gigondas Le Lieu-Dit is as good as it gets – hats off to the young Julien Brechet for one of the finest Gigondas ever made. Coming from a cooler, sandy terroir next to this estate and all Grenache, it was 70% destemmed and spent 18 months in used demi-muids before being moved to concrete tanks prior to bottling. A Grand Cru Red Burgundy-like array of wild strawberries, framboise, flowers, sappy green herbs, and spice all emerge on the nose. This is followed by a seamless, full-bodied, incredibly pure Gigondas that’s more about finesse and elegance than sheer power. I love it today, yet it has the balance, as well as structure, to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for two decades if stored properly.

  • Bold raspberry and black cherry aromas are laced with Campari-like spice on the nose of the stunning 2019 Gigondas Le Lieu Dit, which comes from a sandy, southwest-facing parcel that is consistently among the last plots on the estate to be harvested. Full-bodied and velvety in texture, this is a rich, tannic (but ripe) example of Grenache that should be capable of aging well for close to two decades.

  • Lusciously textured, rich, concentrated, and multi-layered, the wine is loaded to the gills with sweet, ripe, black and red cherries, kirsch, and herbs.

  • Delicious crushed raspberry and blackberry coulis flavors weave together, giving this version an equally enticing textural edge, while mouthwatering red licorice and rooibos tea notes stitch up the edges. Subtle mineral note infuses the finish, giving this a subtle grounding as the fruit sails through. Drink now through 2035.

  • Vivid ruby-red. Exotic spice and potpourri top notes complement highly energetic, mineral-accented red and blue fruit preserve scents. Sappy and precise on the palate, showing a vibrant lift to its intense blueberry, Chambord, floral pastille and spicecake flavors, which deepen with air. Finishes sweet, seamless and impressively long, with slow-building tannins adding shape and closing grip. Made with 30% whole clusters.
