90 Points - Gilbert et Gaillard (2021 Vintage)
Tasting Notes
On the nose, the wine is indulgent like a creamy dessert with aromas of mulberries. On the palate, this wine presents itself as bold and imposing, brimming with personality and vibrant liveliness. It boasts a beautiful length without feeling heavy, making it an easy-drinking wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. The presence of Syrah is evident immediately, adding to its complexity. While enjoyable now, it would certainly benefit from further aging, enhancing its depth and richness.
