A blend from low-yielding hand-picked vines comprising 70% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and 10% Cinsault. Two thirds is fermented in vats, the balance in two-to four-year-old demi-muids (600 litre oak barrels native to the region).

The wine boasts a deep carmine colour and ripe red fruit aromas with a touch of mineral and vanilla. The palate is generous and full-bodied with silky tannins and an exceptionally well-integrated finish.

“The 2022 Gigondas Tradition Le Grand Montmirail is the classic cuvée from this great estate, and it’s based on 70% Grenache and 10% each of Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and Syrah. It has rocking purity in its red and black fruits as well as peppery, floral nuances. Medium-bodied on the palate, with fine tannins, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and a great finish, it’s going to round into form with just a year or two of bottle age and drink nicely through 2027 if well stored.”

“The 2022 Gigondas Tradition Le Grand Montmirail is made from certified organic Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Distinctive hazelnut and strawberry scents emerge, followed by hints of ripe raspberry and dried herbs. This is a medium-bodied, moderately concentrated wine that shows meticulous balance.”
