Moulin de la Gardette, Gigondas Cuvée Tradition, 2023

Moulin de la Gardette’s Gigondas Cuvée Tradition 2023 is a generous, terroir-driven Rhône red that captures the power and finesse of the appellation in one bottle. Built on old-vine Grenache with Mourvèdre and Cinsault, it offers classic southern Rhône character with depth, balance, and plenty of charm. Gigondas has long been admired for producing wines with real structure and ageing potential, and this cuvée shows exactly why.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, inviting color that hints at its concentration. The nose opens with ripe blackberry and mature plum, lifted by a subtle layer of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and supple, with juicy ripe tannins and a fresh, well-balanced acidity that keeps the wine lively and focused. The fruit is rich and expressive, building toward a long, complex finish with plenty of warmth and depth. While already generous in its youth, this is a wine with the structure to develop beautifully over the next several years.

Production
The blend is composed of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, and 10% Cinsault, sourced from vines ranging from 20 to 60 years old. Moulin de la Gardette’s vineyards sit at 100 to 300 meters above sea level, helping preserve freshness and aromatic precision in the warm Gigondas climate. The grapes are hand-harvested, fully destemmed before fermentation, and vinified with native yeasts before ageing in a combination of barrel and tank to balance texture, purity, and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for hearty meat dishes, especially beef or lamb, whether roasted, grilled, or slow-cooked. It also pairs well with rich stews, game, and dishes with Provençal herbs. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended if the wine is opened young.
