Domaine du Grand Bourjassot Gigondas ''Cuvee Cecile'' 2014 Magnum

91 pts Vinous

Deep ruby. Heady dark berry, floral pastille and Indian spice scents are complemented by smoky mineral and white pepper flourishes. Sappy and gently sweet, offering pliant black raspberry, vanilla and spicecake flavors that deepen and expand with aeration. This concentrated, fruit-driven wine finishes with very good energy and smooth, slow-building tannins.

Also showing a Bordeaux-like graphite quality, the 2014 Gigondas Cuvee Cecile (70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre aged in French oak) is medium-bodied, surprisingly concentrated and structured, with darker fruits, smoke and leafy herb aromas and flavors. It’s a big, rich 2014 that will keep through 2024.
