“A blend of 80% Grenache and 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, all grown in a limestone-rich clos, the 2018 Gigondas Clos Derriere Vieille is floral and resinously herbal, with stemmy notes accenting mixed berries. Medium to full-bodied, it’s silky and ripe yet vibrant, with ample complexity allied to admirable acid-tannin balance. It should drink well for up to a decade.” Robert Parker 94 Points
“Bright and lively style, with racy savory and mineral notes leading off, backed by a core of tightly focused red currant and Damson plum fruit. Light floral notes fill in through the finish. Pretty wine. Best from 2021 through 2033. 750 cases made, 50 cases imported.” Wine Spectator 93 Points
