Domaine la Bouissiere Gigondas 2023

$4499

The flagship rouge from the Faravel family at Domaine la Bouïssière — and one of the great expressions of Gigondas. The estate sits on the upper slopes near the Dentelles de Montmirail, where altitude and cool nights pull freshness out of Grenache that often turns ponderous lower down the appellation. Grenache leads with Syrah and Mourvèdre filling in the depth and structure. Generous, mineral, and unmistakably southern Rhône, this is the bottle to open when you want all the warmth of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's neighbor but with sharper edges and more lift.

"The complex 2023 Gigondas unwinds with vivid spice-box, white pepper and licorice aromas. Orange blossom and raspberry add more interest. Polished and even-textured, the full-bodied 2023 carries superb freshness, closing with focus on the elegant afternote." —Nicolas Greinacher

Robert Parker

"Still resting in tanks, the 2023 Gigondas from Bouissière is already showing considerable promise. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark cherries, crushed violets, blackberries, lavender and exotic spices, it’s medium- to full-bodied, layered and sapid, with a beautifully integrated tannic structure and a fleshy core of fruit. The palate is supple yet serious, concluding with a long, ethereal finish. This harmonious and complete Gigondas, composed of 85% Grenache Noir and 15% Syrah and matured 90% in foudres with the remainder in concrete, should reward a decade of cellaring." —Yohan Castaing

Wine Spectator

91 points

"Based on 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre and aged in 65% foudres with the balance in concrete, the 2023 Gigondas Tradition sports a medium ruby hue as well as spicy red and black fruits, savory garrigue, and spice intermixed with background rose and floral nuances. It's medium-bodied and balanced, with fine tannins and outstanding length. Drink this solid effort over the coming 10-12 years."
