Tasting Notes: Laurent Brusset’s "Le Grand Montmirail" is a fruit forward wine without too much of the appellation's tendancy towards rusticity (although it is clearly a Gigondas wine). This 2010 is more tannic than some recent vintages at this stage but it has excellent fruit and acidity. One for the medium term.
