2021 Gigondas “Terrasse du Diable”
Domaine Les Pallières
The hint of prunes and smoke and the rustic, chalky tannins here put the more pastoral feel of the Pallières ambiance on display. Violets and dark berries dominate the palate, with a pleasant wild side lurking below the surface.

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
