Cazaux 2019 Gigondas Le Souiras is an exceptionally rich and powerful wine from the Gigondas appellation, made from old vines on the best plots of Domaine des Cazaux. This cuvée, dominated by Grenache and Mourvèdre, offers an opulent nose of ripe dark fruit such as blackcurrant, blackberry and cherry, combined with spicy and earthy notes of pepper, bay leaf and a hint of cocoa. On the palate this Gigondas is full and firm, with velvety tannins that give the wine structure and elegance. The mineral undertones, typical of Gigondas's limestone- and slate-rich terroir, add a refreshing dimension to the complex flavour profile. The finish is long and intense, with subtle hints of herbs and a light smokiness that underlines the depth of this wine. Le Souiras 2019 is a wine with ageing potential that develops beautifully alongside hearty dishes such as game, roast red meat and rich stews.
Excellent with red meat, game dishes, stews and mature cheeses.
