2019 Gigondas “Terrasse du Diable”
Domaine Les PallièresMuch mystique remains in the Terrasse du Diable. On the surface is an abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day. Below the surface lurks a bitter austerity, and hints of layers of surprises to be revealed over time.

2022 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Rouge
France | Southern Rhône
