Chateau Gigognan Clos du Roi Chateauneuf du Pape 2015

''Dried fruit notes underlaid with a hint of nougat, dark forest berry jam, delicate herbal spices. Medium body, red cherries, integrated tannins, chocolaty touch, fine minerality.'' 91 Points, Falstaff Magazine

''Highlighted by ripe juicy black cherries and spice notes, soft tannins and a core of sweet red berries, approachable now!.'' The Wine Cellar Insider

The flagship of the Chateau Gigognan range, it is a perfectly balanced, distinctive, powerful, supple wine with aromas of red fruit spice blueberries with stunning length.

''While the 2015s are definitely on the rich side, they’re much more in the style of the 2009's. Broadly speaking, I view 2015 as a cross between the richness of 2009 and the energy and structure of 2010. At their best – and there are many high points in 2015 – the wines exhibit the classic richness of the region allied to freshness, which will make them appealing to a wide range of Châteauneuf lovers, from those with cool, deep cellars who can be patient to readers with itchy corkscrews and/or a lack of long-term storage options.'' Josh Raynold's, Vinous Media

''The 2015's are supple, fresh, occasionally opulent and in many cases, already delicious.'' The Wine Cellar Insider
