Brotte Gigondas "La Marasque", is a tribute to the unique cherry aromas of this wine. "La Marasque" is a high-quality cherry used in the production of the famous Marasquin cherry liquor. The grapes grow on soils covered by white limestone which reflect the sunlight and increase the vines exposure to the sun and develops rich tannins in the grape. The wine displays great richness, flavors of cherry liquor as well as black and red jammy fruit notes.

The village Gigondas received its ‘cru’ status in 1971, one of only nine villages in the Southern Rhône to do so. Located between Orange and the Mont Ventoux the appellation spreads over the south-west facing hillsides of the “Dentelles de Montmirail”. The soils are composed of sand and blue marl clay. The vineyards can reach an altitude of 400m, which often means a late maturation of the berries.

Tasting Notes & Pairing

Color: Dark ruby
Nose: Good intensity with notes of spices, red stone fruits, vanilla, licorice and raisins.

Critical Acclaim

92 points Jeb Dunnuck

Spiced cherries, ripe strawberries, dried flowers, and loamy soil are just some of the nuances in the 2022 Gigondas La Marasque, a medium to full-bodied, elegant, nicely textured Gigondas. A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, it’s already bottled and drinking nicely. It should keep through 2030.

91 points Wine Advocate

Elegant and fresh, the 2022 Gigondas la Marasque reveals aromas of dark cherries, plum and garrigue, followed by a medium to full-bodied, elegant and tense palate that segues into a juicy, gourmand and fresh finish. A blend of 70% Grenache Noir and 30% Syrah, this is a seamless, harmonious Gigondas.

91 points Wine Spectator

Generous, juicy and ripe, revealing fresh boysenberry and black cherry flavors, while graphite shavings and black pepper provide a firming counterpoint. Shows a good amount of stuffing, with mesquite and char streaking the finish. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2027. 1,600 cases made, 500 cases imported.

91 points James Suckling

Cherries, crushed berries, dried herbs and baking spices dominate on the nose. Medium to full body with creamy tannins and texture. Round and velvety with a juicy core of berries and cherries at the center and a vibrant finish. Drink or hold.

90 points Vinous

The 2022 Gigondas La Marasque is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. Much more engaging on the palate than on the nose, it offers juicy red fruits adjacent to licorice and cedar. Medium-bodied and moderately concentrated, this stimulating Gigondas will benefit from about two more years in bottle to gain more complexity.
