The year 2023 will remain etched in our memories — for us and for the winemakers of the appellation. On one hand, Gigondas unveils its long-awaited very first white wine. On the other, our estate reaches a major milestone with its first harvest certified organic.
Climatic conditions of the 2023 vintage in Gigondas
The year 2023 was historically low in rainfall, despite a rainy spring. The summer was hot and dry, though July nights remained cool. Temperatures intensified throughout August, culminating in a severe heatwave during the final week. This accelerated the ripening and concentration of the berries. Following this episode, a few storms helped to revive the vines, which had seemed to curl in on themselves, and restarted the maturation of the grapes.
The 2023 vintage wines in Gigondas are rich, fresh, and well-balanced
The result of the 2023 vintage is evident in the glass. The wines are rich, powerful, and concentrated, yet they retain remarkable freshness, likely thanks to the natural acidity in the berries. They are fruity and profound, with exceptionally silky tannins, making this a vintage that is ready to enjoy now!
Expect a well-balanced vintage, one of the most flattering in recent years! It combines the velvety texture of the 2019 vintage with the freshness of 2021, resulting in wines that are highly drinkable.
Great reviews for our 2023 Gigondas!
