Domaine Brusset 2020 Gigondas Tradition Le Grand Montmirail

Gigondas, Rhône, France

Those of you who love Châteauneuf-du-Pape and its less well-known neighbour Gigondas, need to try this wine. An elegant blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault, it offers a great balance of ripe fruit and earthy notes. Intense aromas of dark berries, plum and a hint of tobacco, with a full-bodied texture, and smooth, velvety finish. Flavors of dark fruits, earthy spices, oak. The tannins promise this wine will improve over the next two years.
