Famille Perrin L'Argnée Vieilles Vignes Gigondas 2019

„From a sandy parcel planted to own-rooted Grenache in the 19th century, the 2018 Gigondas L'Argnee Vieilles Vignes boasts a stunning bouquet of dusty cherries and dried flowers. This full-bodied wine has what seems like a crystalline structure and purity, yet it's silky in feel at the same time, finishing long and firm. I'm sure it will age well for at least a decade.“

„An alluring style, with subtle black tea and warmed anise notes leading off, followed by silky-textured cherry and plum puree flavors. Fine-grained and stylish throughout, with a subtle mineral edge underscoring the finish. Drink now through 2032.”

„I love the coolness and herbal complexity of this sophisticated Gigondas. On the palate, concentrated blackberries and damson plums with dried-spice and laurel notes, are wrapped around the core of refined tannins. Very long, clean finish. Drink or hold.”

„Very round and ripe, full but with good grip and palate presence. Alcohol is quite high this year, but it has good acidity and quite robust tannins to help balance. 100+-year-old pre-Phylloxera vines on sandy soil at the bottom of the village, 99% Grenache, 1% Syrah. Élévage in foudre.”

„Evasive nose, but the palate displays the hallmarks of Grenache: raspberry fruit with dry spices and a twiggy herbal note. Very early stages for this cuvée, and there will be greater fireworks in future.”

„Looking at the old vine cuvée, the 2019 Gigondas L’Argnée Vieilles Vignes comes from 100+-year-old vines and more sandy soils. It’s a bigger, more full-bodied, structured, yet still seamless and textured Gigondas offering gorgeous candied cherry and blueberry fruits as well as loads of garrigue, ground pepper, and violet aromatics. With terrific tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish, give bottles 2-3 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following 15+.”
