2023 Gigondas Réserve

Julien Bréchet’s 2023 Gigondas are outstanding, with the top tiers Le Lieu Dit, La Colline and Le Regard Loin all vying for the title of wine of the vintage. Unlike the more powerful, concentrated and tannic 2022s, which are built for extended aging, the 2023s display a haunting elegance with a focused and fresh character. Bréchet and his wife Justine have launched a new project, Domaine de la Combe de Mars. Here, they produce a solid Vin de Pays Côte Inverse and the distinctive Gigondas Le Bout du Monde, which was previously released under Domaine des Bosquets. The Bréchet couple notes that while Julien will continue to concentrate on viticulture and winemaking at Domaine des Bosquets, Justine will primarily oversee the wines from Domaine de la Combe de Mars.
