“The small-berried Serine (Syrah) vines that are the base of the 2018 Gigondas Les Routes are said to originate from Gerard Chave via Jacques Reyaud's Château de Fonsalette. Even without that information, it's possible to discern some smoky, bacony scents on the nose, backed by silky layers of cherry fruit and a pinch of peppery spice. In this vintage, the medium to full-bodied wine isn't a blockbuster but exudes elegance and finesse, with immediate drinkability and a long, finely textured finish. (JC)”
