TASTING NOTES

The Gonon’s are firmly entrenched in the top handful of names in the Rhone Valley these days due to their diligent, manual organic vineyard work, rows ploughed by their trusty plough horse Samson, to their meticulous work in the winery and careful aging in seasoned barrels of various formats - from 100 year old Foudres to demi-muids to Burgundian Pieces.

Scores

92/100

Saturated ruby. Expressive blackberry, exotic spice, peony and smoky mineral scents show very sharp delineation and pick up a hint of olive with air. Sappy, spice-laced dark berry and bitter cherry flavors display very good depth and a complementary hint of candied flowers that emerges on the back half. Broad and pliant in style, finishing with strong, floral- and spice-dominated persistence and rounded tannins that contribute gentle grip.

Vinous

Scores

91/100

Loganberries and raspberries with red plums, pepper, spice and dark, stony minerals. The palate has a deep-set, fleshy core of rich plums and plenty of tannins. Dark chocolate and black cherries to finish. Plenty to offer here. Drink or hold.
