Domaine Brusset Gigondas 'Tradition' 2022 75cl
£20.63
Wonderfully genuine, just-picked raspberries and crushed black pepper aromas enveloped by a mouthwatering yeastiness, like baking bread Really fresh in the mouth, with raspberry and black cherry flavours, although the youthful tannin and crisp acidity suggest pomegranate or cranberry This is SUCH a vibrant wine: if you order a few bottles, it would be a shame not to enjoy some of them immediately for their wonderful freshness and crystal clear sense of place However, it will have no problem ageing 4-5 years, and probably longer Outstanding value
Domaine Brusset Gigondas 'Les Hauts de Montmirail' 2022 75cl
£33.06
Deep, saturated purple in colour, this has an exceptionally concentrated aroma of super-ripe black cherries, cream and peppery spice It tastes the way it smells - concentrated but so fresh and juicy, with the beginnings of complexity: freesia, clove, star anise and white chocolate The tannins are present yet supple, and the overall texture is succulent and delicious This could age for a decade or so, but it's gorgeous already The wine comes from vineyard terraces high up on the Dentelles de Montmirail mountains, just below the vines used for 'Les Secrets'
