Héritage du Pic Saint-Loup "Guilhem Gaucelm" red 2021

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025 (August 2024): 94/100. Guilhem Gaucelm 2021 is a bit more ethereal and tender than usual, but the very old grenaches bring the sap and length we know it for. It promises a beautiful aging potential.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Tasting: Shimmering purple color with red reflections. Intense aromatic expression of dark cocoa, licorice, and Havana enriched with notes of plum and ripe quetsche. On the palate, fruits and meringue pastry cream dominate. The attack is fleshy and generous. The very fine-grained tannins precisely structure this wine, whose amplitude on the palate impresses, leaving a sensation of voluptuousness in the finish.

Aging: 15 to 20 years.

Soils: Clay-limestone dating from the Quaternary. Rolled pebbles, filtering soil.

Yields: between 10 and 20 Hl / Hectare

Blends: 50% syrah, 50% grenache (old vines of 85 years in goblet)

Vinification: Traditional method, punching down. Aging in oak barrels for 24 to 30 months

Tasting temperature: 16°-19°C

Pairing: Red meat, woodcock with porcini, lamb shoulder.
