I always love this cuvée. The 2018 Gigondas Clos Des Tourelles is mostly Grenache and comes from a walled vineyard just outside the village of Gigondas. Its medium ruby color is followed by a Provençal bouquet of dried spices, peppery garrigue, new saddle leather, candied violets, flowery incense, and both red and blue fruits. Full-bodied, beautifully textured, and nicely concentrated, with enough tannins to warrant 2-3 years of bottle age, it’s going to drink nicely for 10-15 years or more. It’s a gorgeous Gigondas.
This building has been inhabited forever and was the first construction outside the fortified walls of the village of Gigondas. Built on medieval foundations, this beautiful Provencal home was erected in the XVII century and now forms a beautiful estate with its two towers.
Formed of 10 hectares of Grenache (80%), Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvèdre, the vineyard of Les Tourelles is located on limestone and sandy soils that are outstanding in the “Clos”, a locality planted in old Grenache vines directly next to the estate and the village of Gigondas.
