The year started very dry: winter and spring were mild but unusually rain-free, with some of the driest conditions recorded in decades, prompting early bud-burst and accelerated growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSummer brought intense heat and prolonged drought, pushing vines into stress — grape clusters were often smaller, and dehydration risk was high. A late-August rain shower provided crucial respite, allowing grapes to rehydrate and complete ripening. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, yields were generally lower than average — but grapes were smaller, intensely concentrated and healthy, largely free of fungal disease. Winemakers describe 2022 as powerful yet balanced: wines show vivid varietal fruit, exotic spice, garrigue character, and often a fresher acidity than the warmer 2020 vintage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, 2022 is shaping up as a strong, age-worthy vintage for Gigondas — rich, concentrated, and expressive, yet not overly heavy, with many wines already drinking well and showing potential for further development. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCER NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe very first plantings within Gigondas in 1376 were at Domaine des Bosquets. Since being bought by the Bréchet family in 2006, the Domaine has gone from strength to strength with critical acclaim from all quarters. These delicious wines offer a freshness and finesse rarely seen in the home of the fruit bomb with the Domaine being described as the 'the Chambolle Musigny of the Rhône' by Jeb Dunnock. Early picking and larger barrels are part of the success of finessing what can be incredibly bold wines from old vines in a very hot climate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNEED ADVICE? ASK A SOMM LIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAny questions about this wine?
