93/100 – PARKER
« Swirls of black raspberry ice cream and dark chocolate combine in Vignon’s 2019 Gigondas, a blend of 95% Grenache and 5% Mourvèdre from numerous small parcels dotted around the appellation. Matured in a large wooden vat, there’s no apparent oak aromas or flavors, just the purity of old-vine fruit, creamy tannins, ample concentration and a bright, vibrant—and long—finish. With its combination of intensity and tension, it should drink well for a decade or more.”

90-92/100 – JEB DUNNUCK
“Last of the 2019s, the 2019 Gigondas offers a more reserved, medium-bodied, elegant style, with pretty notes of savory red and black fruits, peppery herbs, dried flowers, and obvious minerality. Medium-bodied, elegant, finesse-driven, and lengthy on the palate, it’s a beautiful wine that will benefit from a year or so in bottle and drink nicely for a decade.”

16,5+/20 – ROBINSON
“Tasted blind. Slightly shy on the nose currently. Attractive palate with pretty firm and hefty tannins at the moment – nice sweetness and a rounded finish. There is a good level of freshness here that keeps it zippy and engaging. Needs a few years to settle but will give pleasure over the coming years. Drink 2023 – 2028”
