Gigondas 2019 Castel "Séries Limitées". Winemaker Cédric Jenin is doing a great job with this high-end small batches series. This Gigondas is sourced from a high altitude (300 m) 7 hectares organic plot on the Dentelles de Montmirail. Intense perfume with Amarena cherries, flowers and spices, like a dry Vintage Port. Grenache wouldn't be Grenache without the high alcohol (15,5%), but it's beautifully balanced by fresh acidity. Intense, with layers of jammy fruit and spices, while maintaining freshness. Very long spicy finish. Impressive.
