Reviewed by: Joe Czerwinski
The 2018 Gigondas Le Lieu Dit (100% Grenache, grown on sand) is a profound success, boasting subtle garrigue aromas that lend layers of complexity to the bold black cherry and raspberry fruit. It's not overly dark in the glass, but seduces with its perfume and silken touch. Full-bodied, but supple and charming, this is a top-notch effort, capped off by a long, mouthwatering finish.

Plush and velvety, this 100% Grenache cuvée looks to be a terrific success, finishing long, complex, silky and mouthwatering. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
