Wine Advocate, 92 Points 

"As I predicted last year, Louis Bernard's 2016 Gigondas has turned out well and will undoubtedly be an excellent value once pricing is released (the 2014 is the latest vintage available in the United States at the time of this writing). Hints of garrigue accent ripe cherry and stone fruit aromas, while the full-bodied palate is creamy and supple in texture. It's already so drinkable, so sexy, that I question its ability to age, so enjoy it over the next 6-7 years." 

Wine Spectator, 91 Points 

"A very expressive set of violet and cassis aromas streams through, with a fleshy feel developing as this moves along. Blackberry, anise and plum notes fill in steadily through the finish. Drink now through 2026. 1,500 cases made, 200 cases imported."
