Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and perfectly balanced, it has impressive tannins and will benefit from short-term bottle age. As with the other Gigondas here, you should expect 10-15 years of prime drinking. This cuvée is 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre, aged all in foudre.” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e96 points, Jeb Dunnuck, January 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e”Not as effusive on the nose as the La Louisiane, the 2019 Gigondas les Souteyrades is drier, sterner stuff—not as immediately approachable, with more savory notes of black olives and earth. There are still notes of ripe plums and raspberries in this full-bodied effort but also a firm core of dusty tannins to ensure more than a decade of longevity. It's a blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre from a clay-rich, north-facing slope.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(93-95) points, The Wine Advocate, April 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Saint Damien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45182551327035,"sku":"VVDAMSOUT19","price":67.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/9370\/9115\/products\/domaine-st-damien-gigondas-la-louisiane-rhone-valley-2014_edited-1_organic_c7e7e046-f353-41f8-b785-4f6ded540a6b.jpg?v=1683866012","url":"https:\/\/caravanwinesandspirits.com.au\/products\/st-damien-souteyrade-gig-20","provider":"Caravan Wines \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
