Has anyone tried Synchronicité 2020 from Domaine des Florets in Gigondas?
It’s a majority Grenache Gigondas from vineyards high up in the Dentelles de Montmirail, around 500 metres altitude.

A devilishly handsome bearded gentleman modelling his new reading glasses and holding a bottle of 2017 Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas.
A glass of 2017 Chateau de Saint Cosme next to tonight’s musical accompaniment, Turn It Over by the Tony Williams Lifetime. I was a little too young for this originally - Mahavishnu was where I came in to this kind of stuff. It would have been a lot better without Tony’s singing and lyrics - but at the end of the day (whisper it quietly) McLaughlin has never struck me as an emotionally satisfying guitarist.
#12bottlesofChristmas #10 is a #SaintCosme 2017 #Gigondas. I’ve already had the 2016, which was lovely. This is an interesting contrast - more austere, which I think I was expecting, and more tannic, which I wasn’t. In short, possibly a bit too young. But it will come round - I trust #LouisBarruol.
WINNAAR - RODE WIJNEN VAN € 10 TOT € 15 - CHÂTEAU DE SAINT COSME, MICRO-COSME ROUGE 2024
Dat zie je zelden: grenache noir met pinot noir. Louis Barruol van Château de Saint Cosme in Gigondas doet het toch — en niet zomaar.

#WineOfTheWeekend Domaine Cayron #Gigondas 2012. The Gigondas which all other Gigondas are measured against. Forrest floor, tobacco, leather, spices, dried dark fruits and beautiful tannins @debbiem6009.bsky.social @lewisy1993.bsky.social @saamsamm.bsky.social A real favourite
The Dentelles de Montmorail are a dental shaped mountain range, extending south to Mont Ventoux, shielding a sunny garden for vinegrowing. Up on the slopes above famous neighbours #Vacqueyras & #Gigondas is the village of #Suzette. Gorgeous smooth subtle expression Rhône red wine!

The lush vineyards of Gigondas, in the Provence region of France, where rows of vines are ready to be harvested. Trees encircle the vineyard and a farm can be seen beyond them. The valley stretches in the distance, where hills begin to emerge. Clouds spread out, above. And all of this is captured in black and white.
Random photo of the day. Gigondas.

2022 Kirkland (yes, Costco) Gigondas that I got as a work gift. Dried leaves, blood/iron, black cherry and olive tapenade. Med. body, lengthy finish, grippy but not overpowering tannins. The iron/blood note is most prevalent on the palate. Overall get the hype. A.
