Gigondas 2025: A Warm, Rain-Divided Vintage

Two thousand twenty-five is a vintage of contrasts in Gigondas, shaped by a hot, dry summer and record rainfall just as harvest approached. Picking decisions proved crucial, resulting in stylistic heterogeneity. Still, the best reds combine ripeness, structure and serious aging potential, while the whites are among the vintage’s highlights. I also revisit the more classically proportioned 2024s from bottle.
