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.”

Today, its planted area is 15 hectares, including 7 in the Séguret appellation, 5 in Sablet, and 3 in Gigondas.
The estate produces 60,000 bottles each year.
