AOC Gigondas

LEIDER AUSVERKAUFT - SOLD OUT

Presse/ Kritik
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 4,5 / 6 Sterne
"Attractive, good, dark red robe; the bouquet reflects sun without excess, has a mulled fruits aroma, cherry and plum, with a herbal tone, dried herbes de Provence, and a reserved sweetness, a touch of meat stock. The palate has a most pleasing texture from the off, glides along, gives Grenache plum fruit and something I find here, juniper, has a suave feel, bingo tannins on board that fit like a velvet glove. It carries intricacies that appeal. There is a little late tenacity as it digs in, meaning it requires a little time. This is a whizzo Gigondas that carries finesse and local feel, is STGT, with no undue effort attached – this is a swan that really is not paddling below the water. The length is aromatic, the whole of high interest. Its balance means it can be drunk sooner than maybe usual – from 2023. 2043-45"
J. Dunnuck: 94 / 100 Punkte
"Tasted out of bottle, the 2019 Gigondas is another gem and reminds me a little of the 2010, only with a touch more accessibility at this stage. Classic crème de cassis, sappy garrigue, pepper, and basil notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, pure, concentrated Gigondas revealing ripe tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. As with the 2020, the blend is 78% Grenache, 14% Syrah, 6% Cinsault, and 2% Mourvèdre that was destemmed and brought up in old foudre."
J. Suckling: 93 / 100 Punkte
"Intense balsamic and savory aromas, as well as the black fruit we associate with this appellation. Powerful and well structured with a degree of coolness that was rare in this ripe vintage. Long and complex, savory finish that’s spicy and self-confidently tannic. A blend of 78% grenache, 14% syrah, 6% cinsault and 2% mourvedre from 40-year-old vines. Drink or hold."

Das Weingut
Die Domaine du Cayron wird seit vier Generationen von der Familie Faraud geführt.
1840 am Fuße der Dentelles de Montmirail gegründet, unfasst das Anwesen heute ca. 17 ha, die sich aus rund 20 separaten Parzellen zusammensetzen. Viele davon befinden sich auf ca. 400m Höhe, erstrecken sich entlang der Dentelles de Montmirail und ziehen sich durch die Garrigue mit Rebstöcken bis zu 70 Jahre alt.
Geführt wird das Weingut in der nun fünften Generation von den drei Schwestern Delphine, Cendrine und Roseline Faraud. Unter den wachsamen Augen von Vater Michel bleiben sie den uralten Traditionen treu, um handwerkliche, hochwertige und typische Weine der Region zu erzeugen.
