Domaine des Bosquets Gigondas Le Lieu Dit... 2020

Bosquets is a top terroir containing a small enclave of pure fine sand, locally called "Safres". This is the vineyard that surrounds the cuverie. Despite its lower altitude, this is still where the last harvest is done. This is because the plot is surrounded by higher rocks and forest and receives less direct sun. That, together with the sandy soil gives the estate's most nuanced, refined wine and this without sacrificing volume and power. Simply delicious! In fact, vines were planted on this plot as early as the 14th century! Yield of barely 18hl/ha, 4200 bottles and 180 magnums bottled.
