Gigondas Blanc Les Prés 2023 Domaine Saint Damien

Gigondas Blanc - Les Pres 2023

3樽だけの、クレレットの透明感。

「ラ・ルイジアーヌ」「ラ・ムート」「レ・プレ」の区画のクレレットを、フレンチオークの古樽100%で熟成させた、3樽のみのキュヴェです。澱の上で寝かせつつ樽の影響を抑えることで、非常にピュアなアロマが際立ちます。クリスタルのように透明な色合いから、白い花やアニスの香り。口中では柑橘やグレープフルーツ、白桃の風味が広がり、フレッシュさと塩気が心地よく残ります。ブレス鶏やモリーユ茸とともに。

Scores & awards

Jeb Dunnuck 90 pts　/　Vinous 89 pts

Jeb Dunnuck:
"The first white from this estate, the 2023 Gigondas Blanc has a kiss of reduction as well as rock-solid aromatics of candied lemon zest, minty flowers, and honeysuckle. It's a medium-bodied, pure, elegant white that will benefit from 6-12 months of bottle age and should evolve nicely over the following 2-4 years."
