A sleek red, with nice polish to the boysenberry, steeped tea and red licorice notes wrapped around a core of graphite. The supple palate is reined in by silky tannins, and there's impressive density through the long finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.

Lavau's 2017 Gigondas is only 50% Grenache, with 40% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. Partly aged in slightly used barrels, it offers up scents of scorched cedar but also blueberry and ripe stone fruit. Full-bodied and concentrated, with a coarse, open-knit texture and a long, chewy finish, it should drink well from 2020-2026.

Rich and alluring, with waves of dark plum and warmed raspberry puree gliding through, inlaid with savory, chalky mineral and smoldering tobacco notes. Everything meshes nicely through the lengthy finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2020 through 2028. 5,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Southern Rh?ne / Gigondas Select to Add
