Domaine Saint Damien Domaine Saint-Damien Gigondas Les Souteyrades 2022 750ml

A gorgeous wine in the vintage, the 2022 Gigondas Les Souteyrades checks in as 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre that saw a lengthy maceration and will spend over a year in foudre. It's a ripe, powerful Gigondas with medium to full-bodied richness, notes of ripe strawberries, black raspberries, exotic spice, and flowers, a terrific sense of freshness and purity, fine tannins, and a great finish. Readers should snatch up this sensational 2022. 94-96 points. (Jeb Dunnuck)

The 2022 Gigondas Les Souteyrades Vieilles Vignes is one of the sleepers of the vintage. Spicy and black fruited, its perfume is complemented by dried thyme, orange rind and garrigue. Powerful and firmly structured, the 2022 carries considerable depth and is neatly balanced by fresh acidity. Hold it for at least five more years, if you can resist the temptation.
