Bertrand Stehelin Gigondas 2015 - First Bottle

Reviews

93 Wine Spectator -
This rather seductive red delivers subtle, persistent nuance, with rich cassis, plum and blackberry fruit flavors that are remarkably pure and silky in feel, while light lavender, violet and incense notes weave in through the finish. Drink now through 2028. 3,500 cases made.
91 Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -
Looking substantially better than a sample reviewed last year, Stehelin`s 2015 Gigondas is full-bodied, creamy and plush. Scents of cherries jubilee pick up subtle dustings of earth and baking spices on the soft finish. -- Joe Czerwinski in Issue #238, August 2018

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
We are talking PURPLE! Deep color, deep flavors of blackberry crisp, cigar box spices and smoky wood, with a surprisingly sexy, silky mouthfeel along with some lightly grippy fine tannin that reminds you this is serious stuff (just not at a serious price, today!). Delicious, complex and shows different sides every time you take a sip. LOVE IT. This will age, too, if you can keep your hands off it for a few years, but honestly we doubt it once you get a bottle open and taste it yourself…while it lasts! Just landed direct from France! Woo hoo!

About the Producer

In the 1400s, the Stehelins were a band of Swiss mercenaries (no that is not a typo) called into battle for hire in various wars, with "Stehe" meaning  "holding" and "Lin" meaning "weapon" in old Swiss. It wasn't until 1620 that Bertrand Stehelin's ancestors (Leydier) showed the first signs of owning land and making wine at Paillre et Pied-Gu in Gigondas. In 1840, Fritz Stehelin left Switzerland to buy Chateau Mont-Thabor in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Mont-Thabor is one of our all-time favorite Chateauneuf-du-Pape producers, but guess what? A branch of the family owns a tiny property in Gigondas and the wines are just as good. Price to quality ratio is off the charts here!
