The newest wine is an amazing effort and could easily rival, if not eclipse the Hautes Garrigues with 5-6 years of bottle age. The 2007 Gigondas Grand Grenache 66 comes from some of the oldest Grenache vines Yves Gras has. The color is inky purple...Notes of crushed rocks (chalk), kirsch, and blacker fruits intermixed with hints of truffle and forest floor are followed by a full-bodied, sensationally concentrated wine with massive extract and high tannins. This wine has great purity and is bursting with potential...it should keep for 25+ years. It is a great effort and well-worth searching out. Robert Parker

Intense, dark fruit. Tangy plum, cola, spices. Quite hot and alcoholic.

Super deep concentrated and deep red fruit. Tobacco and gnarly fruit. Some salty, bloody with deep plummy notes. Quite hot and long. Good stuff.

Getting there, but not ready yet. I will wait another few years before I open my next bottle, my last one.
