Item Description
Vinous Media 94
Deep magenta. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe cherry, boysenberry, lavender, black tea and smoky minerals. Offers deep but energetic red and blue fruit, floral pastille, exotic spice and succulent herb flavors that spread out slowly as the wine opens up. The floral and spice notes resonate on a long, focused finish framed by fine-grained, steadily building tannins.

Domaine Raspail-Ay produces classic Gigondas wines. Full-bodied, fruity, fine and well-balanced. Aromas of red fruits – raspberries and black cherries – with notes of black pepper, lead to more complex scents of licorice and herbs de Provence. Tannins are ripe, the wine fills the mouth with warm, generous flavors yet with an underlying structure that bodes well for future po- tential. A fruit-forward and accessible wine.
About Domaine Raspail
Dominique Ay, the serious-minded proprietor of Domaine Raspail-Ay makes one of the most iconic wines in all of Gigondas. Its 19 hectares make up one contiguous block of vines, mid-slope on the rugged clay/ limestone terraces, the best terroir of the Gigondas appelation. The imposing rock formation of the Dentelles de Montmirail looms above as a backdrop. Besides a small amount of Gigondas Rosè, only one wine is made-Gigondas. There is no Côtes du Rhone, no "Réserve", "Vielles Vignes" or special new oak cuvée bottling. Only one wine, consistently ranked among the top wines produced in the appelation year in and year out.
