2010 Château Gigault Cuvée Viva Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux
“Black cherries, juniper berries, and finely ribbed tannins…”
“Black cherries, juniper berries, and finely ribbed tannins…”
“Red apple skin, tart strawberries, a hint of garrigue. Refreshing…”
“A ripe mouthful of yellow melon, strawberry, tea-steeped herbs…”
“Breezy and cooling, balancing fruit and restraint…”
“Genial and gamine, with trenchant acidity.”
“Old-school sharp, great with food.”
“Fine, clean lines and an acid-etched tracery of flowers and minerals and fruit.”
“Balanced, snappy, fresh-squeezed, easy.”
“A mélange of super-ripe berries steeped with green melon and new-mown hay.”
“Plum-fruit inflected, with a peppery minty-garrigue finish.”
“A great foil for lamb, sausage, aïoli, ratatouille, vegetables.”
Wine is local, a lens of culture: this place, this vineyard, this grape, this grower, this heritage.
