The 2017 Gigondas Le Plateau is another unusual blend for a Gigondas and is all Mourvèdre that was not destemmed and was aged in three older demi-muids. It has thrilling blue fruits crushed violets exotic flowers and peppery notes that develop with time in the glass. These carry to a full-bodied Gigondas that packs serious fruit texture and tannins while staying perfectly balanced and elegant. It’s a thrilling wine and up with the top releases from the Southern Rhône. Give bottles 2-4 years and enjoy over the following decade or more. (Drink between 2019-2023)

Only two demi-muids of the Mourvèdre-based 2017 Gigondas Le Plateau were produced. That's a shame as it boasts amazing perfumes of licorice roses and strawberries. It's full-bodied in the mouth with ample concentration and a rich mouthfeel adding notes of sous-bois and even more red fruit. Remarkable stuff that's becoming a cult favorite. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
