Tardieu-Laurent Gigondas Vieilles Vignes, Rhone, France 2020 Champagne Francis Verrier 30% Gewürztraminer and 10% RieslingA racy red, with baked plum, sappy cassis and wet earth and vanilla tinged incense notes that slowly emerge. The round palate is nicely offset by a savory vein of crushed iron and smoke, with grippy tannins firming up the structured, densely packed yet elegant finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvdre. 91 Pts Wine Spectator
