        Reviews:

        • Decanter: Somewhat introverted initially, some spicy black fruits take some coaxing out and then violets emerge with air too. There’s a satisfying weight and presence without feeling heavy or extracted, with a clear mineral seam running through the palate. The tannins are very fine and there’s a good sense of intensity and purity, with well balanced, deep-set acidity holding the wine upright. Long finish. Overall a very well-proportioned wine that gives great pleasure now, and will continue to do so for some time.
        • Jeb Dunnuck: Moving to the bottled releases, the 2019 Gigondas Tradition is as classic as they come, offering incredibly complex notes of blackberries, peppery herbs, lavender, and leather. More medium-bodied on the palate, it has ripe, polished tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. This is liquid Provence in a bottle! Drink it over the coming 10-12 years. The blend is 80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, brought up in used Burgundy barrels.

        Producer Information

        Moulin de La Gardette is located in a spot reputed since as early as 1670 for the quality of its vineyards on the rocky slopes of la Gardette, high in the hills, just to the south of the village of Gigondas. The name Moulin de La Gardette first appeared in 1958 when Geneviève Jurdic married Laurent Meunier, who came from an artistic and musical family in Paris. The mill refers to the old mill that once stood on the hill of La Gardette. The enterprise prospered and nowadays Jean-Baptiste Meunier, who took over the reins in 1990 tends mature bush vines with an average age of around 65 years in 25 different parcels of Gigondas garrigue. His philosophy is to let the grapes and the terroir express themselves, so he naturally switched to organic viticulture, with minimal use of copper, working along these lines since 2000 (it’s astonishing that there are so few growers working sustainably, with respect for their soils and environment in the appellation). The notable finesse and freshness in the wines is undoubtedly partly due to the higher altitude sites of many of the parcels (up to 330m) scattered around famed lieux-dits like La Gardette, Saint-Jean, Jasio and L’Argne. In particular it’s thanks to fine soils which combine Triassic marls, Miocene sands (locally called 'safre'), limestone and clay, with the sands in particular yielding fruit with pronounced finesse and a nicely harnessed tannic content giving real ageability to the wines. Many of the vines are on tiny strips of land no bigger than a hectare surrounded by Aleppo pines, oak trees and mature woodlands whose essences fill the air with lingering scents. Whipped clean by the mistral the vines enjoy an outstanding natural environment.
