Domaine des Pasquiers crafts one of Gigondas' most reliable expressions from their high-altitude vineyards beneath the Dentelles de Montmirail. The 2023 shows the wild herbs of the garrigue, the structured power that comes from old vines, and that distinctive mineral backbone that separates Gigondas from its flashier Châteauneuf neighbours. Built on Grenache and Syrah, the fruit is dense and dark, the tannins serious but not severe, and there's a lovely tension between the Mediterranean warmth and the cooling influence of altitude.
