Critics Scores
Decanter
Aromatically very deep, with blackberry fruits emerging from the oak chrysalis along with lavender notes. So silky, juicy and fine. Massy, thick and chewy tannins. Dark, black fruit compote on the palate, but fully dry. Remarkable depth and darkness of fruit. Very long.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
More civilized than it was last year out of barrel, the 2017 Gigondas le Poste boasts lovely blueberry and cassis fruit. It's full-bodied and intense yet silky and darn near elegant on the palate. Don't underestimate the quantity of (ripe) tannins here, which provide a pleasant chewiness to the long, salted-licorice finish.
Jeb Dunnuck
More closed and backward than either the Hominis Fides or Le Claux, the 2017 Gigondas Le Poste is nevertheless just as impressive and offers its hallmark purity and elegance paired with stunning richness and depth. Black and blue fruits, crushed rocks, graphite, and a beautiful violet character all define the bouquet. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it’s the purity of fruit and balance that set this beauty above just about every other Gigondas out there. Do your best to hide bottles for at least 4-5 years.

Wine Spectator
This is packed with steeped fig, blackberry and boysenberry confiture notes, laced liberally with violet, anise, tobacco and lavender accents. Has enough grip through the finish to keep it honest, with tar and juniper notes adding spine and heft. A beauty
Wine Enthusiast
Warming veins of Bourbon, clove, cinnamon and vanilla extend from nose to finish in this massive, fleshy red. Luscious fig and cherry flavors are unabashedly hedonistic but gripped by firm, framing tannins. It drinks beautifully already but should improve through 2031
James Suckling
A curiosité of soil in this parcel with tortonian limestone, like in Barolo. The nose is so elegant with a fragrant, dried-wood and camphor note and a lighter, redder fruit edge. The palate has such finesse and a very discreet, smooth and compact style. This has a very fresh, red-to-purple fruit feel at the firm, dense finish. Unique texture here. Try from 2024.
