Pierre-Henri Morel Gigondas 2020
Pierre-Henri Morel Gigondas 2010. Bottled after 12 to 18 months. Inky red-purple with elegant aromas of black cherries, red fruit and pepper, savoury, meaty flavours and garrigue notes with grippy tannins and long length. Ready for drinking now, combining elegant fruit and medium body with fine concentration: a slightly lighter touch than the Chateauneuf with more fine-grained tannins that will improve over the next five or six years.

Pierre-Henri Morel Côtes du Rhône Villages "Signargues" 2022
Pierre-Henri Morel Côtes du Rhône Villages "Signargues" 2011. Deep garnet red, full and rich strawberry aromas with ripe, concentrated black fruit, lush palate with licorice, fine-grained tannins and a long, spicy finish. This has a richness and intensity well beyond what you would expect of a Côtes du Rhône to the extent that it rivals many a Châteauneuf du Pape.
