Note di degustazione
Up there with the finest wines made from the entire Southern Rhône in 2015, the 2015 Gigondas La Colline is a jaw-dropping effort offering serious amounts of black raspberries, camphor, dried flowers, and spice. Made from 100% Grenache that was mostly destemmed and aged all in 1-3-year-old demi-muids, this heavenly Gigondas has full-bodied richness, a stacked mid-palate, loads of sweet tannin and a great, great finish. Buy it if you can. Under the helm of the young Julien Brechet, with aid from omnipresent Philippe Cambie, Domaine des Bosquets has quickly risen into the top handful of estates in Gigondas, as well as in all of the Southern Rhône. The 2015s shine for their purity and finesse, but the 2016s have everything you could want in wine. You can’t go wrong with any of these.

Deep ruby. Highly fragrant raspberry, boysenberry and Asian spice scents show excellent clarity and pick up a floral quality with air. Deeply concentrated but lithe red and dark berry flavors caress the palate and show no rough edges. Candied lavender and spicecake notes linger on a very long, subtly tannic finish that echoes the blue fruit note.
Coming from a small corner parcel of the La Colline vineyard, the utterly sensational 2015 Gigondas La Colline is primarily Grenache that includes a touch of whole clusters and is still aging in one- to three-year-old demi-muids. It possesses a huge nose of black raspberries, blackcurrants, toasted spice and garrigue in a stacked, full-bodied, concentrated, yet weightless style. It’s certainly up with the top handful of wines in the vintage and should not be missed!
Grenache-dominated blend. Vinified in stainless steel. Matured in 500-litre demi-muids, first and third use. Cask sample. Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. Full, opulent, floral notes on the nose. Racy palate with real energy. Sweet finish. The fruit almost obscures the fine tannins. (JR)
