Review: "A new 100% Grenache cuvée, the 2018 Gigondas Numero 8 looks to be very promising. Hints of garrigue and fennel accent dark cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is lush and velvety, concentrated and plush, with plenty of length on the finish."

Staff Notes:

 "A new 100% Grenache cuvée, the 2018 Gigondas Numero 8 looks to be very promising. Hints of garrigue and fennel accent dark cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is lush and velvety, concentrated and plush, with plenty of length on the finish." 92-95 Points Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate

"Only 1200 bottles of the 2018 “La Numéro Huit” were made, and it is a stunning achievement that speaks to Grenache’s ability to convey remarkable nuance when treated with respect. Paul deftly avoids Grenache’s garish glop without overcorrecting into gluggable frivolity, channeling the rigorous structure typical of Gour de Chaulé into something remarkably fresh. Acidity here is pert, unapologetic; the fruit is vivacious and ultra-pure, reveling in its vibrancy of texture. Youthful experimentation is impossible to resist when rendered with such arresting force of personality and utter deliciousness, and our hats are off to Paul for this wonderful new cuvée—a feather in the cap of one of our greatest and most important domaines, and a harbinger of great things to come." Clarke Boehling, Rosenthal Wine Merchant
