The 2011 Gigondas Le Poste (from limestone and marl soils and a plot of vines just beside the estate that was replanted in 1963) is the most finesse-driven of the three single vineyard releases, with an understated elegance and freshness that comes out with time in the glass. Raspberry, violets, forest floor and crushed flower-like qualities all emerge from the glass, and this full-bodied, supple and elegant beauty never puts a foot wrong. It too is a brilliant effort from a less than straightforward vintage. Enjoy it over the coming 10-15 years.
