The elegant 2009 Gigondas Terrasses des Dentelles is a blend of 72% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 3% Mourvedre aged in both tank and small barrels. The wine reveals Burgundy-like notes of forest floor, red and black currants, underbrush, flowers and tobacco leaf. It is a medium-bodied, lush, super-pretty Gigondas with lots of elegance as well as freshness. It should drink well for 5-7 years.

The more limited cuvee, the 2007 Gigondas Terrasses des Dentelles, exhibits super precision, a terrific minerality that comes through the lavish amounts of black raspberry, blueberry, and spring flower characteristics, superb ripeness, a saturated ruby/purple color, full-bodied power, and admirable elegance, purity, and acidity. Consume it over the next 10-15 years. Font-Sane owns a total of 38 acres in Gigondas, with vines averaging 50 years of age. The blend of around 70% Grenache, 20-25% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre and Cinsault, aged in large wood foudres prior to bottling, is typical for most wines of this appellation. The two cuvees of 2007 are both stunning, and the 2006 is an excellent effort for the vintage.Various American importers including: Simon N Cellars, Charlottesville, VA; tel.
