2020 Château Gigognan "Bois des Moines" Côtes-du-Rhône Villages
90
James Suckling
Review Date: 05/2023An attractive Cotes-du-Rhone that has nice freshness and positive dry tannins as well as the fullness and fleshiness the world expects from this appellation. There’s also a solid tannic base. A little more fruit would have pushed this much higher. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. (SP)

Notes
The estate at Château Gigognan has a history stretching back to Roman times, eventually becoming the property of the bishops of Avignon. More recently, the estate was acquired by Anne and Jacques Callet, who over the last few decades completely rebuilt the winery, restoring the château and replanting where necessary. Slowly they acquired additional parcels, and now the domaine includes 30 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, In 2012, consulting winemaker Philippe Cambie helped out, and in 2017 the property was bought by Jean-Francois Henin, with famed winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt was brought in to consult.
