Château du Trignon 2005 Red (Gigondas)
- $29
In a vintage that can be sternly tannic, Trignon has turned out a nicely balanced Gigondas. Black cherries and leather combine easily on the palate, with subtle spice and cocoa shadings. It’s big, round and mouthfilling, yet elegant at the same time. Drink now–2015.

Château du Trignon 2010 Roussanne (Côtes du Rhône)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $18
It’s unusual to find 100% Roussanne wines, but this is a terrific example at a realistic price. It’s broad and mouth-coating but still seems fresh, with melon, pear and pineapple flavors that linger on the tightly focused finish. Drink over the next year or two.

Château du Trignon 2007 Rasteau Red (Côtes du Rhône Villages)
- $25
The Quiot family’s Château du Trignon is located in Gigondas, but has holdings in several nearby villages. The 2007 Rasteau is rather fruit driven (cherries and plums), but manages to fold in hints of chocolate, anise and French roast. Supple on the finish. Drink now–2015.

Château du Trignon 2006 Rasteau Red (Côtes du Rhône Villages)
- $25
This medium-bodied red displays an array of dried spices alongside ample black-cherry fruit. It’s fresher and firmer than the 2007 (also reviewed this month), featuring some slightly dusty tannins on the finish. Drink now–2015 or so.

Château du Trignon 2004 Red (Gigondas)

Château du Trignon 2007 Sablet Red (Côtes du Rhône Villages)
- $22
A delicious middleweight red for drinking over the next few years, Trignon’s 2007 Sablet is a lushly fruited wine with creamy-textured tannins, ample black cherry and plum flavors and just a touch of spice for complexity.

Château du Trignon 2009 Roussanne (Côtes du Rhône)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
It’s unusual to find a Côtes du Rhône that’s 100% Roussanne, but this is a tasty white that might even have 3–5 years of longevity. It starts off with scents of wet stones and underripe pineapple, then adds melon and hints of ripe peach on the palate, where it shows a plump, round mouthfeel and a warm, lingering finish.
