Saint-Damien Gigondas La Louisiane 2023

93-95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Lastly, the 2023 Gigondas La Louisiane comes from a single lieu-dit on the lower plain, just beside the estate. It has a pretty perfume of red and black fruits, spring flowers, crushed stone, and rose petals. These all carry to an incredibly pure, elegant, medium to full-bodied Gigondas that has fine tannins and a great finish. (12/5/24)"

91-93 points Nicolas Greinacher (Vinous): "Using around 5% new oak, the 2023 Gigondas La Louisiane Vieilles Vignes shows a little more refinement on the nose compared to the Vieilles Vignes from the same vintage, opening with detailed strawberry compote, ripe raspberry, licorice, thyme and black cherry. Full-bodied and gently structured, the bold 2023 wraps up with a touch of licorice on the powerful finish. Drink: 2026-2035. (Oct 2024)"
