The 2016 vintage in the Southern Rhone valley is exceptional, both in terms of quality and quantity, thanks to idyllic weather conditions that protected the region from climatic accidents throughout the whole year. No producer is as consistent as the Perrin family, owners of the prestigious Ch de Beaucastel in Chateauneuf du Pape and Clos des Tourelles in Gigondas.
Reminiscent of a Provençal street market (which I always get from classic Gigondas), it has ultra-fine tannin, excellent concentration and a rocking finish. Drink this beauty to 2031.
Acquired via exchange with a private cellar in the University of Oxford, whose storage conditions are world class.

Critic Review
Jeb Dunnuck 93/100 ""Medium ruby-colored, the 2016 Gigondas La Gille (90% Grenache and the rest other permitted varieties) is silky and polished, with beautiful kirsch, dried earth, spice box and dried flowers aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and polished, it's already drinking nicely yet has enough tannin (not to mention balance) to keep for a decade.""
