2007 Gigondas “Les Racines” HALF-BOTTLE
Domaine Les Pallières
This 2007 marks the first year Pallières separated its fruit into two cuvées, isolating very distinct terroirs in this beautiful corner of the southern Rhône. Les Racines features the domaine’s oldest vines in sloping clay soils, and always delivers rich cherry fruit, notes of violets and lavender, and more elegant tannins than the punchier “Terrasse” bottling. Deep and expansive on the palate, it demands flavorsome roasts, stews, or a pristine cut of dry-aged beef over coals.

2020 Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise HALF BOTTLE

Leydiers at Domaine de Durban are particularly proud of their Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, a vin doux naturel, as they are among the last to craft it in the traditional style.

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.

Clairette de Die “Tradition”
France | Southern Rhône
This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France, where small hills grow into small mountains on the flanks of the Alps.
