The “Les Racines” cuvée, coming from the oldest vines of the domain, possesses the velvet, the depth and the harmony of old Grenache when grown on refined terroirs. Its aging potential is very important, the main factor being the balance.
The 2014 Gigondas les Racines is truly gorgeous, and a serious wine in a difficult vintage for the appellation. From yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare, it has beautiful notes of black cherries, blackberries, hints of pepper and bouquet garni in a medium-bodied, ultra-fine, ultra-pure style. It’s a hidden little gem that will keep for a decade.
“Les Racines”, a cuvée made with grapes from the estate’s oldest vines, has the velvet, depth and harmony that defines old Grenache when cultivated in refined terroirs. It has very high ageing potential, as balance is the main factor.
The wine has aromas of violets and loganberry and a fulsome palate with fruit and tannin nicely balanced and notes of liquorice and bay leaf at the back.
