2000 Gigondas
Domaine Les PallièresPallières has historically held the reputation of having one of the best terroirs in Gigondas: nestled up against the northern face of the Dentelles de Montmirail, it is the perfect site for powerul, yet elegant and age-worthy expressions of Grenache. With time, its tannins soften and the wine fragrantly recalls its terroir, akin to an autumnal walk through garrigue and pine forest.

2021 Gigondas “Les Racines”
France | Southern Rhône
The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.
2021 Gigondas “Terrasse du Diable”
France | Southern Rhône
An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.
2022 Côtes-du-Rhône “L' Emouvante”
France | Southern Rhône
Deep, concentrated, and refreshingly saline, this is like great Cornas with Mediterranean influences.

Intense in both color and character, the most dense and vinous I can ever remember from this cuvée.

Great winemakers, great terroirs, there is never any hurry. And I no longer buy into this idea of “peak” maturity. Great winemakers, great terroirs, their wines offer different pleasures at different ages.
