A tiny one percent of Mourvèdre was added to the Grenache-led 2021 Gigondas Le Font de Tonin. For the time being, the one-year aging in new through seventh-use wood puts cloves and cedar elements ahead of everything else. Strawberry jam, mint and peppery nuances add subtle contrast beyond the wood-derived components. Allow this structured 2021 red at least two more years in bottle to come together.

Domaine la Bouïssière
Thierry and Gilles Faravel's Domaine la Bouïssière in Gigondas is exceptional in many ways, apart from the personality of Thierry himself, it is the site of the vineyard, high up under the 'Dentelles de Montmirail' which makes the defining difference.
In contrast to the vines being baked on the plains of stones at the foot of the hill, the Bouïssière vines benefit from cooling air at night falling from the high peaks, and the wines retain a freshness and subtle persistence which is very different to the sometimes bludgeoning broadness and alcoholic heat of the wines on the plain.
Gilles and Thierry Faravel employ non-interventionalist practices to make wines as naturally as possible, resulting in wines of immense concentration and depth, with true vibrancy and the capacity to age for ten to fifteen years.
