Hailing from the sun-drenched slopes of Gigondas, the 2019 Domaine Des Bosquets Reserve is a true testament to its terroir. Scoring a well-deserved 95 points, this wine showcases a beautiful balance between power and elegance. Its dark fruit core is framed by hints of lavender and crushed rock, a nod to its origin’s distinctive landscape. On the palate, it unfurls layers of blackberry, plum, and a touch of spice, all wrapped in silky tannins that lead to a lasting finish. It’s the perfect companion to a hearty beef stew on a chilly night. Originally retailing at $55, this wine over-delivers, making it a truly great value find.
