Gigondas,L’Argnée,FamillePerrin2023EnPrimeur–Caseof6

A new one to me, I was taken aback by the lightness of touch on show here. Sourced from very old vines in the centre of Gigondas, the intensity of black fruits, cassis, blueberry and waft of garrigue gave way to disarming elegance and purity. Clean, with fine tannins it possesses super dense fruit but wears it so well. With a touch of charcuterie and autumnal notes on the finish this is the joker in the pack for me. Delicious.
