Château Gigognan
Clos du Roi Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
A very nice Cdp. Drinking nicely now and will be better in the next few years.
Showing red and black fruits with earth, chocolates, red candy, spices, wood, licorice and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity, soft and elegant.
Dry on the palate and spicy with a gorgeous nose.
Feels like an Oregon Pinot Noir more than a old world wine. Fruit forward.
Needs an hour to open up properly and show some tannins.
Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah.
14% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$33.

Love this. There is a smoked meat nose that also comes through in the mouth mingling with a nice balance of fruit and sandalwood

Had 2014 in December of 2018. Wonder if this would have been Breyer with something else or last year. Fruits up front and nice smooth tannins. Would probably try again but drink it sooner.
