I always find the wines of Domaine du Cayron to be singular and exotic, and I love them, but admittedly, they’re not for everyone. Their 2020 Gigondas checks in as 78% Grenache, 14% Syrah, and the rest Cinsault and Mourvèdre that was destemmed and aged all in very old foudre. Cassis, blueberries, bay leaf, basil, and exotic flowers notes all emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with wonderful purity of fruit and a notable sense of freshness. It’s a beautiful barrel sample from this family.

70% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 14% Syrah, 1% Mourvèdre, the Syrah aged in demi-muids.
Brooding, mineral notes on the nose. Dark-cherry fruit. Lots of spice on the finish. Floral, very appealing ripe fruit. Violet note to finish. Complex and very drinkable. (AWH)
