Lastly, the 2019 Gigondas Le Pas De L’Aigle comes from a higher elevation vineyard and is just about all Grenache that will spend two years in foudre before release. Absolutely loaded with Provençal goodness, it has sweet red and black fruits, spice, and garrigue notes to go with a medium to full-bodied, richly textured, balanced style on the palate. It’s already hard to resist (even as a barrel sample) but will evolve gracefully for 15 years or more if stored properly.
