Tasting notes

Robert Parker, 2016 :

“Grown at around 400 meters above sea level, the Gigondas 2016 Jucunditas is a silky and luxurious wine. Cherry, apricot and dark chocolate notes swirl on the nose and the palate of this full-bodied wine shows great length on the finish, taking on hints of liquorice and cracked pepper. It is a beautiful expression of the terroir spirit of altitude of the appellation.”
