80% Grenache Noir, 20% Mourvèdre | Alc: 14.0%
Gigondas, Rhône Valley, France

Winemaker’s notes:
Domaine Brunely 2022 Gigondas red comes from the most beautiful terroir on the western foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail. That is why it is called their “Tresor” or treasure in English.
The combination of a high percentage of Grenache, together with Mourvèdre is a very successful and flattering duo. The Grenache brings roundness, cherry, liquorice, some cocoa and silky tannins. The Mourvedre kicks in starting the mid palate with exotic spices, followed by structure and mouth-length. The terroir brings extra complexity and finesse.

Critical Acclaim:
“A fresh, delicate bouquet of cherries, flowers, iris and spices mingled with lovely pepper notes prefaces the 2022 Gigondas Tresor, a medium to full-bodied wine that is suave on the attack, enrobing and seamless, with good depth at the core, built around velvety tannins that segue into a long, delicate and bright finish. This blend of 80% Grenache Noir and 20% Mourvèdre, matured entirely in concrete tanks, will offer a broad drinking window—a great effort.” 93 Pts – Wine Advocate

“The 2022 Gigondas Trésor is some old school Gigondas goodness and offers a killer nose of peppery garrigue, bouquet garni, damp earth, and sweet red and black fruits. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, ripe yet elegant, balanced 2022 with ripe tannins and a great, great finish.” 92 Pts – Jeb Dunnuck
