Alain Jaume 2021 Gigondas "Terrasses de Montmirail" 750ml

Appellation: Gigondas AOC

Grape Varieties: Roughly 65% Grenache, the balance Syrah and Mourvèdre

Bright black cherry with a squeeze of raspberry juice, pepping up the fruit aromas. Fine, quite diminutive style, but well balanced and drinkable. Lovely bright acidity. Tannins just a little knotted, but otherwise this is elegant, charming and drinkable - a success for the vintage.

Score: 92 points -- Matt Walls, Decanter, 2022

Food Pairing: Roast duck with mushrooms, or a wild mushroom risotto.
