On the nose, the wine unfolds complex aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and black cherries, combined with spicy notes of black pepper, licorice, and a hint of herbs de Provence.

On the palate, the Gigondas Le Grand Montmirail 1998 is full-bodied and structured, with well-integrated tannins that have become soft and supple with the wine's age. Aromas of dark fruits and spices continue, accompanied by a long and complex finish characterized by hints of tobacco and dried herbs.
