Always the most exotic of the trio from Saint-Damien, the 2022 Gigondas Les Souteyrades reveals a vivid ruby hue as well as floral, peppery nuances all wrapped around a core of sweet red fruits. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins, just about flawless balance, and a great finish. It's another beautiful wine that I'd be thrilled to own.

The 2022 Gigondas Les Souteyrades Vieilles Vignes is one of the sleepers of the vintage. Spicy and black fruited, its perfume is complemented by dried thyme, orange rind and garrigue. Powerful and rmly structured, the 2022 carries considerable depth and is neatly balanced by fresh acidity. Hold it for at least ve more years, if you can resist the temptation. Drink 2029-2038

The 2022 Gigondas les Souteyrades is showing well today, revealing a complex, deep bouquet of dark wild berries, licorice, spices, cedar and garrigue. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's dense with a ripe, assertive tannic frame built around a generous, fleshy core of fruit. Finishing with dark wild berry-inflected finish and a long, cedary aftertaste, this powerful but well-executed Gigondas will offer a broad drinking window. Drink 2024-2040
