2020 Gigondas Les Racines Domaine Les Pallieres
£31.00
“Shimmering ruby-red. The bouquet evokes pungent cherry, dark berry, floral, licorice, black tea and smoky mineral aromas. Youthfully taut bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors show excellent depth, and a spicy touch of cracked pepper sharpens the back half. Subtly chewy tannins build on a very long, penetrating finish that leaves bitter chocolate and candied lavender notes behind.”
95 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous
“A very deep, dark and dense Gigondas that nonetheless has great balance and finesse. Great dried Mediterranean herb complexity, but also stacks of licorice. Then comes wonderful freshness at the powerful and velvety finish. 90% grenache, 5% mourvedre and 5% clairette.”
Domaine Les Pallières, in the foothills of the beautiful and brooding Dentelles de Montmirail, is undeniably one of the finest properties of the Southern Rhône. The vineyards range from 250-400 meters in altitude, with varying proportions of sand, clay and limestone scree descending from the Dentelles.
A deep and dense Gigondas that displays great balance and finesse.
