A super wine, let alone one from such a challenging year, the 2021 Gigondas Ventabren is an assemblage of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault. The Grenache was picked in the second half of October, and it fermented as whole clusters, with indigenous yeasts; maturation was in foudres and demi-muids. Scents of rose petals accent strawberries and raspberries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is lush and silky, with ample length.
