"Moving to the 2012s, the Gigondas Excellence is gorgeous and up with the creme de la creme of the vintage. Comprised of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, aged all in tank, it offers up notes of blackcurrants, sweet cassis, licorice, crushed stone-like minerality and loads of spice on the nose. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple, elegant and perfectly balanced Gigondas that should deliver the goods for 10-12 years or ... read more

"Moving to the 2012s, the Gigondas Excellence is gorgeous and up with the creme de la creme of the vintage. Comprised of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, aged all in tank, it offers up notes of blackcurrants, sweet cassis, licorice, crushed stone-like minerality and loads of spice on the nose. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple, elegant and perfectly balanced Gigondas that should deliver the goods for 10-12 years or more.
Another estate that over delivers, Domaine du Grapillon d'Or has always been run by the Chauvet family, with the father/daughter pair of Bernard and Celine Chauvet now running the show. Covering 35 acres in Gigondas (2 hectare in Vacqueyras and a small amount in Vin de Pays), they normally release two Gigondas cuvees in each vintage, with the 1806 being mostly Grenache and aged all in oak tanks, and the Excellence having a touch more Syrah, from the older vines of the estate, and aged all in tank."
