Vinous (97)
Lurid ruby. Hugely perfumed, mineral- and spice-accented red berry liqueur, cherry-cola incense and garrigue qualities on the sharply delineated nose. It offers vibrant, palate-staining cherry preserve, Chambord, boysenberry, floral pastille and Moroccan spice flavors that show uncanny energy for their depth. The spice and floral notes dominate a strikingly long, sappy finish framed by silky, finely polished tannins.HK$2,375.00 -

More finesse-oriented than the blockbuster style La Colline release, the 2015 Gigondas le Lieu Dit is another Grenache-dominated wine that comes from a cooler, late parcel of sandy soils located just beside the estate. Notes of strawberries, raspberries, crushed flowers, kirsch and spice all emerge from this full-bodied, utterly seamless, pure and gorgeously balanced beauty that doesn’t have a hard edge to be found. It will drink well for 10-15 years or more.HK$3,695.00 -

Coming from a sandy parcel just beside the winery and all old-vine Grenache, the 2018 Gigondas Le Lieu Dit makes the most of this vintage and is a classic example of this cooler terroir. Gorgeous notes of kirsch liqueur, rose petals, strawberries, spring flowers, toasted spices, and peppery herbs all give way to a full-bodied, beautifully textured, elegant Gigondas that has a wonderful sense of finesse, classic southern Rhône power and richness, flawless balance, and a great finish. It’s one of the wines of the vintage. While it’s not the biggest wine in the lineup, it has incredible finesse and elegance.HK$2,480.00 -

The 2019 Gigondas Le Lieu-Dit is as good as it gets – hats off to the young Julien Brechet for one of the finest Gigondas ever made. Coming from a cooler, sandy terroir next to this estate and all Grenache, it was 70% destemmed and spent 18 months in used demi-muids before being moved to concrete tanks prior to bottling. A Grand Cru Red Burgundy-like array of wild strawberries, framboise, flowers, sappy green herbs, and spice all emerge on the nose. This is followed by a seamless, full-bodied, incredibly pure Gigondas that’s more about finesse and elegance than sheer power. I love it today, yet it has the balance, as well as structure, to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for two decades if stored properly.HK$3,185.00 -

All Mourvèdre brought up in old demi-muids, the 2018 Gigondas Le Plateau is a stunning example of this variety that does everything right. Classic Mourvèdre notes of blueberries, mulberries, new leather, lavender, and ground pepper give way to a full-bodied, beautifully balanced, elegant 2018 that has stacked mid-palate, flawless balance, silky tannins, and a great finish. It shows more tannins and structure with time in the glass, so give this beauty 2-3 years of bottle age, it should have 15-20 years of overall longevity.HK$2,365.00 -
Wine Spectator (96)
This shows a prominent leather-wrapped and cassis-soaked rosemary flavor profile, while bitter cherry and plum fruit notes make a bid for attention. The finish is paved with warm stone and smoldering garrigue accents, along with a long, lingering tobacco edge. A Bandol-esque version of Gigondas. Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault, Grenache and Clairette. Best from 2025 through 2040.HK$3,465.00 -
Vinous (93-95)
Opaque ruby. Displays deeply perfumed black and blue fruit aromas with suggestions of smoked meat, succulent flowers and baking spices. Shows excellent depth and energy to its juicy cherry, blueberry, licorice and bitter chocolate flavors, which are sharpened by a spicy suggestion of black pepper. Firmly gripping tannins frame a very long, spicy finish that echoes the cherry and floral notes.HK$2,420.00 -

Always not destemmed, the 2022 Gigondas Le Plateau just about jumps out of the glass with its spice, wild, floral and exotic Mourvèdre character. Red, blue, and black fruits, game, peppery garrigue, and violet notes all give way to a medium to full-bodied, broad, layered, structured 2022 that, while it largely offers pleasure, has two decades of prime drinking.HK$2,420.00 -
Jeb Dunnuck (98)
Based on 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, and the rest Syrah, the tiny production 2022 Gigondas Le Regard Loin is gorgeous, and I think it’s the standout in the lineup. Black raspberries, ground pepper, sappy flowers, and spice are just some of its nuances, and it's just about perfect on the palate, with full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, and ultra-fine tannins. I love it today, but this beauty will cruise for two decades.HK$1,480.00 -
(6x75cl) 2020Vinous (96)
Glass-staining ruby. Deeply pitched black raspberry, cherry-cola, cassis, olive and pungent floral qualities on the intensely perfumed, mineral- and spice-accented nose. Sappy and densely packed yet energetic as well, offering intense, smoke-laced kirsch, dark berry preserve, mocha, licorice and candied violet flavors and a hint of salty olive tapenade. Shows superb clarity, repeating floral and spice notes and emphatic mineral lift on a youthfully tannic finish that hangs on with superb, dark fruit-driven persistence. These vines are all Serine, originally from Domaine J.L. Chave, of Hermitage fame.HK$2,790.00 -
(6x75cl) 2021Vinous (93-95)
Inky violet color. Assertive aromas of ripe blackberry, kirsch and violet pick up olive, licorice and exotic spice nuances with air. Juicy, broad and deeply concentrated, this wine displays an array of floral-tinged black and blue fruit and spice flavors that become more lively as the wine opens up. Smoothly melds richness and vivacity, and the wonderfully long, spice- and mineral-accented finish features velvety tannins and resonating florality.HK$2,870.00 -
Wine Advocate (95-97)
There's no doubt that this cuvée is among the very best Syrahs bottled in the Southern Rhône. The 2018 Gigondas les Routes (from a vintage that favored Grenache) is perfumed and floral, with prominent violet notes joining hints of potpourri, garrigue and licorice. Blueberries and mint appear on the full-bodied palate, which delivers concentrated fruit flavors without any sense of excess weight, finishing long, lively and silky.HK$2,480.00 -
(6x75cl) 2021Vinous (93-95)
Inky violet color. Pungent, smoke- and spice-tinged cherry, blackberry, licorice and bacon aromas unfold slowly and pick up a bright floral aspect. Chewy and tightly wound on entry, offering bitter cherry, dark berry and candied licorice flavors that show impressive depth and energy. Finishes very long and youthfully chewy, with mounting tannins and repeating cherry and bacon notes.HK$2,870.00 -
Jeb Dunnuck (95)
The 2022 Gigondas Les Routes is another Hermitage look-alike with its leather, gamey blue fruits, fig leaf, and graphite aromas and flavors. Richly textured and medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's a rich, concentrated, yet also weightless Syrah that has so much to love.HK$2,410.00 -

The original blended Domaine des Bosquets Gigondas is now available in two cuvées: Font des Bosquets (young vines, shorter ageing, no oak) and Réserve (older vines, 14 plots vinified separately including fruit from the top single vineyard sites, maturation in different types of oak for 18 months depending on the variety). The result is an extraordinary exercise in elegance, beautifully silky tannins and deeply vinous fruit. This is long, shapely and tapered with depth, freshness, elegance, and a seamless character. If the alcohol was marginally better integrated this would possible score higher. It's quite an expressive, almost showy wine, but it will be excellent when it's ready. Not as strongly characterful as each of the single vineyard expressions, but better balanced, and more quintessentially Gigondas. In organic conversion.HK$1,640.00 -
Decanter (95)
A full-bodied, harmonious blend, not quite as aggressively concentrated as his single-vineyard wines this year. Very tannic still, and well balanced despite its enormous size. Long finish, saturated with thick, fine tannins. The oak is quite prominent for now, but there's enough fruit to match it. Will be good when it's ready. 70% destemmed, then vinified plot-by-plot. The Syrah is aged in recent-use (but not new) barriques, the Mourvèdre in old barriques and the Grenache in larger barrels (mostly old) and concrete. Then the wine spends six months in concrete tanks after blending.HK$1,480.00 -
(6x75cl) 2021Vinous (92-94)
Brilliant ruby. Black raspberry, cherry and blueberry aromas are complemented by lavender and cracked pepper suggestions. It shows very good depth and energy to its appealingly sweet red and blue fruit and licorice flavors, which slowly firm up and become spicier through the back half. Youthfully gripping tannins frame a long, spice- and floral-accented finish that echoes the licorice note.HK$2,070.00 -
(6x75cl) 2022Jeb Dunnuck (92-94)
The traditional cuvée from this talented winemaker, the 2022 Gigondas Réserve is a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre and Cinsault. It has a gorgeous perfume of black raspberries, toasted spices, dried flowers, and camphor, with a touch of loamy earth and minerality that emerges with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, it has the riper profile of the vintage, fine tannins, terrific overall balance, and outstanding length. It's a rich yet also elegant barrel sample.HK$1,630.00 -

The 2013 Beaune Grèves comes across as a bit compact and not as expressive as the other wines in the range. There is good depth and energy in the glass, along with expressive inflections of dark-fleshed fruit. A relatively high amount of CO2 masks some of the wine's personality today.HK$845.00 -

(two barrels produced, vs. a normal eight): Bright, pale yellow. Vibrant aromas of lemon gelato and wild herbs. Very complex, pure and refined, boasting an utterly silky, seamless texture to its intense citrus peel, fresh herb and mineral flavors. Really outstanding inner-mouth energy here, followed by a slowly mounting finish that saturates the taste buds. A great wine in the making, but not for drinking anytime soon. (I found the 2017 version a bit juicier and fruitier, and there will be ten barrels of the younger vintage as the crop level was generous.) According to winemaker Frédéric Barnier, 2017 has more sweetness as a vintage, but while the '17 Chevalier-Montrachet is round, opulent and tasty, the '16 is extremely pure, fresh and linear, and will expand with time in the cellar. But even today it's silky, tactile, edge-free and extremely long.HK$24,130.00
