Gigondas Le Hauts de Montmirail 1999

The Gigondas Le Grand Montmirail 1999 from Domaine Brusset is an expressive and elegant wine from the southern Rhône Valley. Its color is a deep ruby red, already showing signs of maturity. The nose is rich and complex, with aromas of black cherries, ripe plums, and blackberries, accompanied by notes of herbs de Provence, lavender, and subtle hints of licorice and pepper.
On the palate, it unfolds an impressive structure with well-integrated yet still noticeable tannins. The fruit aromas are juicy and vibrant, while spicy notes, earth, and mineral nuances blend harmoniously. The wine has a pleasant body and balanced acidity, giving it freshness and depth. The finish is long and offers a fine balance between fruit, spice, and light wood notes.
Compared to the 1998, the 1999 appears somewhat fresher, with a more beautiful fruit concentration, making it ideal for pairing with game, lamb dishes, or strong cheeses. A Gigondas with great finesse and aging potential.
