2020 Domaine du Gour de Chaulé Gigondas Cuvée Tradition
Community Tasting Note
La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine:
Monday, March 11, 2024 - Gour de Chaulé's 2020 Gigondas Cuvée Tradition is a Grenache-dominated (>80%) blend, balanced with roughly equal aliquots of Syrah and Mourvèdre. This particular bottle was Vinturi-decanted and serially tasted over a three-hour interval, significantly benefitting from the first couple of hours in carafe. When fully open, the aromatic profile flaunts a bounty of dark bramble fruits, licorice, Provençal herbs, white pepper, loam and pickling spice. Medium-bodied, fresh, seamlessly alcoholic (14.5%) and with well-woven wood, it delivers flavors mirroring the nose, wrapping them with plentiful silky tannins and retaining good density on the mid-palate. The energetic finish is impressively long. This is a beautifully structured Southern Rhone that should provide lots of pleasure over the next ten or more years. Drink now-2034.
