M. Chapoutier Gigondas Les Jocasses 2018

The vineyards of Château Sapoutier range from the Rhone Valley to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a number of quality vineyards planted with Syrah, Grenache, Marsanne, Roussanne and other major grape varieties. The winery is "mono-varietal" (i.e. making wines from a single variety), for example, all Syrah for the Châteauneuf-du-Rotie wines, all Marsanne for the Hermitage whites and all Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines. The wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape are all Grenache. Château Sapoutier has worked tirelessly to improve the quality of its wines, even though each single vineyard produces far more than the 500 cases of fine wine.

Youthful, pristine boysenberry and blackberry are shaded by bramble, smoke and hazelnut in this buoyantly fruity but elegant wine. An unoaked blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah, it's luminous yet deeply complex, lingering on notes of crushed granite and earth. Ripe, fine-grained tannins make the wine approachable now but it should improve through 2030 and hold further
