Domaine Raspail-Ay Gigondas 2022
92-94 points Wine Advocate
The 2022 Gigondas from Domaine Raspail-Ay exhales a deep, complex bouquet of ripe cherries, flowers, dark wild berries and peonies mingled with gentle, oaky notes. Medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it has a fleshy core of fruit framed by structured tannins and a long, delicately peppery finish. This outstanding, quite mineral Gigondas comprises 70% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. The Grenache and Mourvèdre matured in foudres, while the Syrah saw time in used barrels and large barrels.
88-92 points Vinous Media
The 2022 Gigondas mixes 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, all fully destemmed. Currently undergoing a heavily reductive phase, a few minutes of aeration trigger delicate blood orange and black plum scents. Earthy and spicy subtleties emerge with time. This smooth 2022 red hits the palate with good flavor concentration kept in check by lively acids.
