A brilliant effort, the 2009 Gigondas La Font Sereine is made from a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah from vines that average 48 years in age. This cuvee was aged 100% in cement tanks prior to bottling. It reveals abundant aromas of kirsch and black fruits intermixed with hints of charcoal, camphor, crushed rocks and incense. Rich, full-bodied, deep and impressively endowed with terrific purity as well as overall equilibrium, it can be enjoyed over the next decade or more.
