The Domaine Lavau Gigondas 2019 is a robust red wine from the Southern Rhône Valley, crafted from a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. It offers a complex nose with aromas of raspberries, plums, thyme, orange peel, and a hint of peppered meat, characteristic of the Gigondas appellation. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with ripe tannins, delivering a meaty, fleshy texture that is both typical and expressive of the region's terroir. The finish is long and structured, making it suitable for aging or enjoying in its youth. This vintage is highly regarded by critics, including James Suckling, who notes its "very typical" profile for the appellation.
