The 2023 Gigondas Les Hauts De Montmirail is cut from the same cloth yet brings a touch more Syrah character in its darker berries, peppery herbs, graphite, and crushed stone-like aromatics. It’s full-bodied, concentrated, has remarkable purity, and a gorgeous finish. This cuvée is 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre that’s from higher elevation, terraced parcels. It was destemmed and aged in 50% new French oak casks.

Grown on calcareous soils, this GSM blend presents a deeply earthy, almost meaty nose, with blackberry, black licorice, wild herbs, and violets creating a captivating bouquet. The palate is lush yet balanced, with acidity that lifts dark cherry, cassis, and blackberry flavors, all framed by a soft stony finish.
Domaine Brusset is one of the most highly respected, family-owned producers in the Southern Rhône, with a history spanning several generations. To say that Gigondas is their ‘bread and butter’ would be an understatement. These guys are one of the undisputed kings of the entire region.
Le Grand Montmirail is the flagship Gigondas bottling from Domaine Brusset, and it is highly regarded as one of the most classic and age-worthy examples from the entire appellation. It comes from a super-high elevation that helps ensure cool nights and excellent sun exposure, leading to grapes that retain crucial acidity and develop intense, complex aromas.
The wine is always fantastic but in the new 2023 vintage its truly special as evident in its Top 50 placement in Jeb Dunnuck’s Top 50 wines of 2025.
