Héritage du Pic Saint-Loup "Guilhem Gaucelm" red 2022

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2026 (Sept 2025): 95/100. The face-off between the 2022 vintage of the highly regarded cuvée Guilhem Gaucelm, compact and refined, and the 2012 vintage, with its complex bouquet, showcases the excellent level of the domaine. The syrahs and grenaches over 100 years old, evolving on the rolled pebbles of this renowned terroir, have character.

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 tannins, with a very fine grain, precisely structure this wine, whose amplitude on the palate impresses, leaving a sensation of voluptuousness in the finish.

Cellaring: 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.
