Tasting Notes: Always one of the very best wines from this leading Cru, Les Hauts outperforms again in 2020 with a magnificently refined and elegant yet powerful wine, bursting with delicious red/black fruit character, fabulous length and smooth texture. Very stylish.
All wines from this estate | Drinking Dates: 2024 to 2034 | Cépagement: 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Mourvedre | Soil: Clayey-limestone facing south. | Upbringing: Hand-picked, severe selection, crushing, destalking, cold pre-fermentation and separate fermentation for each variety for 21 days with pigeage and temperature control. Aged in 100% oak casks, around 40% new. | ABV: 14% | Critic Reviews: 'Another beautiful, balanced, medium-to-full bodied Gigondas offering ample fruit (black cherries, blackberries), textbook aromatics of ground herbs and chalky minerality, ripe, silky tannins and a great finish... well worth seeking out.' 94/100 (Jeb Dunnock)
'Brilliant ruby-red. Ripe, smoke-tinged red fruits, musky earth and lavender notes are present on the
expansive nose. Juicy, mineral-accented black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors show fine clarity
and turn sweeter with aeration. The impressively long, gently tannic finish features resonating floral
and red berry notes. A spicy jolt of white pepper adds final lift and cut.' 94/100 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous)
'Deep colour. Rich and ripe with jam-compote fruit notes. Lots of gourmand fruit on the palate with a density that follows. Firmly structured, the tannins tight and long on the finish. Needs a bit of time for everything to merge.' 16.5+/20 (James Lawther MW, jancisrobinson.com)
