This Gigondas is red in colour and powerful, adding cocoa, spice and a fresh touch of eucalyptus to its palette of stewed red and black fruit aromas (cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant).The fatness and the fullness of the flesh impose themselves on the palate, without the warm character detracting from this beautiful order.

"A blend of 70% Grenache, 23% Syrah and 7% Mourvèdre, all aged in old foudres, the 2017 Gigondas performed brilliantly, both in blind tasting and at the estate. Floral notes accentuate the red fruits on the nose, while on the full-bodied palate, darker notes of espresso, black olive and chocolate take over. It is richly tannic but ripe, with a creamy, velvety mouthfeel and a long, savory finish." 92-94/100 Joe Czerwinski Wine Advocate

Ripe, with notes of macerated red fruit and spice. Its power rises to a crescendo, without excess, well framed by a chewy tannin, which brings length. The wine does not seem to be very extracted.

Serving temperature: 18°C

Food and wine pairing : When young, it goes well with spicy food, game and cheese. When mature, it goes well with spit-roasted poultry, meats and the most refined sauces.

The Estate Raspail-Ay

Dominique Ay produces on a very beautiful terroir with clay-limestone soils the archetype of a very beautiful Gigondas, full, pulpy, with a tight structure that requires at least 5 to 6 years of cellaring to express itself. Note that this Gigondas Raspail Ay shows a flawless consistency over the vintages, the secret of this success being partly due to the fact that the estate produces only one cuvée, and it is aged in large tuns for at least 24 months. A Gigondas, authentic and racy, unique.
