Expert Reviews
The 2022 Gigondas from Château de Saint Cosme is showing particularly well today, evoking a fresh, complex and fruity bouquet of pepper, violet, crushed strawberries and menthol mingled with delicate notes of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, delicate and textured, it's perfectly balanced with good depth at the core and a long, mineral and ethereal finish. It's a blend of 70% Grenache Noir, 15% Mourvèdre, 14% Syrah and 1% Cinsault that matured 20% in new barrels, 50% in used barrels and the rest in concrete tanks. This is a wine that could age gracefully over the next decade.
Expressive spice-box, raspberry, blood orange, red cherry, violets and cedar frame the aromatic profile of the alluring 2022 Gigondas. Full-bodied and concentrated, yet fresh and perfumed, the 2022 concludes with a zesty grapefruit slice on the long finale.
