In the press
Jeb Dunnuck | 90 PointsA beautiful wine in the vintage, the 2021 Gigondas Tradition Le Grand Montmirail has ample bright cherry and fresh mulberry-driven fruit as well as textbook peppery herbs and violet nuances. This fresh, medium-bodied, elegant 2021 has fine tannins and outstanding length. The blend is 70% Grenache and 10% each of Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, that was brought up in a mix of tank and older oak. It’s well worth following over the coming 10-12 years.
