Famille Perrin L’Argnée Gigondas 2021

A soft, rounded, pure expression of Grenache. The acidity here is lower than most, but still in balance. There’s lovely softness to the plentiful ripe tannins. It’s a harmonious, gourmand and velvety style. From very old pre-phylloxera vines grown on sand close to the village of Gigondas, just six barrels made. Drinking window: 2023-2032. Score – 94.
