Domaine des Bosquets
La Colline... Gigondas Red Rhone Blend
Gigondas, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Shimmering ruby-red. Highly fragrant scents of ripe red berries, kirsch, exotic spices and candied lavender are accompanied by a smoky mineral nuance that builds steadily with air. Smooth and seamless on the palate. Intense raspberry, cherry-cola, spicecake and garrigue flavors deliver a suave blend of power and delicacy. Finishes smooth, gently tannic and impressively long, leaving fierce red fruit and floral notes behind. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, January 2023)

Best Gigondas ever for me. Wowza. Blew my socks off after 45 min decant. Deeply extracted blackberry with animale surround on fig paste and fresh compote. Wonderfully crafted.

Very nice gigondas - probably best I’ve had. Slightly hot, at 15%, which is my only complaint. I think we may have bought this on a honeymoon trip through the rhone in 2015 - our tastes have certainly changed since then but this is still nice.

Fruity, french oak, but very dry in mouth feel. Improved when rested. Much better mouth feel~!

Super concentrated, rustic, classic Gigondas. Kirsch and blackberry liqueur with spice and garrigue. The long maceration at 32 days and 18 months in oak gives this wine incredible character. Big and powerful. Love it! Give it some cellar time to smooth out to be ideal but it’s really good now. 2017 vintage on Dec 31, 2019

Jan 1st, 2020Excellent bottle with assorted cheese to wrap up the week. Lots of berries with subtle tannins and a good finish. Can’t remember where or when I picked this one up but very enjoyable nonetheless.

Picked up at the winery in Gigondas back in May, this is excellent. Great aromas of blue and black fruits, some lavendar, and a hint of earth, this has a beautiful mouthfeel with a subtle acidity and sweet tannins that keep it alive on the palate. Great, lingering finish. This winery was far and away the biggest surprise we had on our trip to CdP (in a good way!). Just reconfirms that Gigondas has some of the best QPR wines around (especially if you’re like me and love grenache!).

This vintage and soil make for a BIG Gigondas, but keeps a terrific balance and energy.
