La Reserve St. Dominique Gigondas 2023
92-94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
This comes from an exceptional boutique winery in the southern Rhone who is consistently churning out insane values from their Cotes du Rhone to their Rasteau to their Gigondas and more. But the new 2023 Gigondas is completely striking – it’s the kind of wine that pulls you in quickly and doesn’t let go. A 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre and 10% Syrah blend, this is a beautiful, big jammy wine that shines with blackberries, strawberries and red licorice that give way to some black olives and baking spice. Jeb Dunnuck went nuts for it, giving it a 94-point review which he started emphatically by declaring “I loved the 2023 Gigondas, a ripe, sweetly fruited, sexy, yet elegant Gigondas.”
Original price was: $30.00.$25.00Current price is: $25.00.

“I loved the 2023 Gigondas, a ripe, sweetly fruited, sexy, yet elegant Gigondas. Red and black fruit with a peppery garrigue, sandalwood, and Provencal spice notes that all shine here, and it’s medium to full-bodied, balanced, and has a great finish.”
La Bastide Saint Dominique is a boutique winery in the south of Rhone Valley known for producing some absolutely exceptional values. Today’s Gigondas should give you a perfect idea of the kinds of magic that this small producer is capable of.
Their Gigondas is a home-run value, which the winery attributes to their special terroir in Gigondas with southern-facing hillsides that are full of stony, clay soil.
They make their Gigondas as a typical GSM – but with their magical Grenache fruit representing the lions’ share of the blend. The 2023 vintage is 80% grenache, 10% mourvedre and 10% syrah, and is a beautiful, big jammy wine that shines with blackberries, strawberries and red licorice that give way to some black olives and baking spice. It’s a dense and silky wine with expert structure, suggested that while the wine is fabulous already in its youth it will only become more approachable and intricate over the next 10-15 years.
