Another fine bottle of Gigondas from the sisters Dany and Carole Chastan. Never visited the estate, but after several vintages from Chambers, while visiting Gigondas drank some older bottles from le Caveau du Gigondas. Wonderful tasting bar “downtown”. Drink are hold, Yum.

Tasty medium weight Rhone with nice Syrah character. Juicy and fresh with nicely rounded tannins, good acidity and a medium finish. Black plum and blackberry with just a little smoke and garrigue. Overall - nice wine drinking well and about the right price.

Very young and fresh. Extra juicy. Delicious drinking now but will likely age into something superb. Slight acidity. Light tannins. Already well balanced. Nice.

Dark purple color. Bright dark fruit nose. Flavors of cassis and licorice with an underlying spicy smokiness. Still very primary and juicy. Medium tannins and acidity. Could use more time to come into further balance. But, it is drinking well now having a nice freshness. Decant as there was a bit of sediment. Excellent value.
