Famille Perrin Domaine du Clos des Tourelles Gigondas 2021

Very dark in the glass. Wonderful cassis aromas. It's a rounded and generous style on the palate, with really expressive fruit. Good acidity and length, and the tannins are well tamed. Half the Grenache is whole-bunch fermented, as well as all the Syrah. Well balanced, this is very successful for a 2021 Gigondas. Vineyards around the Clos on the southern edge of the village, from a 4ha parcel. Drinking window: 2026-2032. Score - 94. (Matt Walls, decanter.com, Dec. 4, 2022) Very dark in the glass.
