The 1995 Gigondas Cuvee Combe Sauvage is an intensely fragrant wine with loads of peppery spice, along with jammy cherry, kirsch, and blackberry flavors. Broadly-flavored and expansive, with full body, a touch of pain grille, and a generous palate, this is a soft, accessible yet well-endowed Gigondas to drink over the next 8-10 years. I have never before tasted the wines from this estate, run by Martine and Michel Chouvet, but I was impressed by both the 1995 and 1996 Gigondas, especially the strong 1996, from a vintage that produced a plethora of light to medium-weight wines that are meant to be drunk within 4-5 years of the vintage. This estate merits a closer look - importers take note! No known American importer.
