Score 17/20 · Drink 2020-2029, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2021

Full bottle 1,335 g. No tech spec available for this wine. Transparent garnet. Lightly animal/gamey on the nose. Sweet start but not oppressively so. Rich with real depth – a tad more oomph than Tablas Creek Esprit Rouge honestly. The relative prices presumably reflect local market conditions, but I'm glad that – for now at least – I can take advantage of European rather than Californian pricing. (JR)

Brilliant magenta. Assertive red/blue fruit, potpourri and succulent herb aromas are sharpened by a spicy suggestion of white pepper. Sappy, subtly sweet and penetrating in the mouth, offering intense raspberry, black cherry and boysenberry flavors that show an intriguingly light touch. Distinctly elegant in style, showing excellent delineation and spice- and floral-driven tenacity on its gently tannic finish.

Leading off the Gigondas releases, the 2018 Gigondas La Gille offers a medium to full-bodied, elegant, seamless style that’s very much in the style of the vintage. Plenty of spice, flowers, strawberries, and blueberry notes all emerge from this glass and it has light tannins, terrific balance, and beautiful length on the finish. In addition to the Château de Beaucastel releases, the Perrin family also releases a bevy of brilliant wines under their Famille Perrin label. Certainly, the Gigondas releases are the standouts, yet readers shouldn’t miss their Vinsobres releases; the flagship Les Hauts De Julien possibly one of the finest Syrahs dominated blend made in the southern Rhône!
