2017 Gigondas Clos des Tourelles

Produced from yields around 15 hectoliters per hectare, the 2017 Gigondas Clos des Tourelles is a blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre and 10% Syrah. It's full-bodied yet seemingly weightless, combining floral, rose-like aromas with raspberry flavors. It's intense and concentrated, while being focused and silky at the same time. It should be a beauty once it's bottled. Oct 2018, www.robertparker.com
