Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2009

The well-made 2006 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes' deep ruby/purple hue is followed by aromas of black cherries, raspberries, spring flowers, earth, and spice. Not as extravagantly rich as the 2007, it is a medium-bodied, well-balanced wine to consume over the next 7-8 years.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, January 2009

(80% grenache and 20% mourvedre, from vines averaging over 50 years of age) Dark ruby. Ripe raspberry and blackcurrant aromas are complicated by smoked meat, licorice and dark chocolate. Fleshy and smooth, with deep dark berry preserve flavors and a subtle note of candied licorice. The lingering fruit is joined by a zesty cracked pepper quality.

About Winery

Proprietor Joel Saurel, backed up by the inimitable Philippe Cambie as his consultant, has transformed this estate into one of the greatest in Gigondas, rivaling the two top producers, Yves Gras' Santa Duc and Louis Barruol's Saint Cosme.
