Domaine d'Ouréa Gigondas red 2022

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025  (August 2024): 93/100. We are more attracted to the ripe, smooth, and sparkling fruit of the 2022 Gigondas. The palate is richer and offers a final roundness with fine tannins.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Y. Castaing, Oct 2024): 92/100. A blend of 70% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah, and 10% Cinsault, the 2022 Gigondas from Domaine d'Ourea is showing beautifully today. Revealing a delicately oaky and smoky bouquet of peony, garrigue, licorice, lead pencil, and dark berries, it's medium to full-bodied, delicately tense and taut with a juicy, charming core of fruit, velvety tannins, and a long, ethereal, and peppery-inflected finish. This wine promises to drink brilliantly over the next decade. It was made with 30% whole clusters and matured for 14 months in concrete tanks. DRINK 2024-2034.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Terroir: Lieu-dit of “Grand Montmirail,” high-altitude vineyard (400 to 520 meters). The lower slope consists of red marl that adds depth. In the middle and upper slopes, the limestone bedrock becomes increasingly present, imparting tension, character, and verticality to the wines. Vineyard planted in 1975.

Grapes: 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault.

Vinification: Manual harvest, not destemmed then crushed, followed by a short infusion. Aging only in concrete tanks to preserve purity and delicacy.

Tasting notes: A fine, elegant, vibrant wine where the originality of the place is conveyed with energy.

Service & Pairing: Serve at 15°C. Partridges with cabbage, Hare with cream.
