Domaine Cécile Chassagne Gigondas 2020

Vinous: 93 points
“Deep magenta. Suggestions of garrigue and smoky minerals complement pungent red and dark berry aromas. This offers taut bitter cherry, blackberry and candied lavender flavors that show very good depth and a spicy touch of cracked pepper on the back half. Fine-grained tannins build steadily on an impressively long, penetrating finish, echoing the spice and floral notes. All whole clusters. (JR)”

Andreas Larsson: 92 points
“Medium deep ruby colour. Pure and perfumed with ripe red berries, cherry, kirsch, garrigue and mild spices. Rather ample palate with bold young fruit, fine spiciness, a fresh backbone, yet a warm and ripe style, youthful texture with ripe and refreshing tannin and a long vivid finish.”
