Gigondas 2022 Racines - Domaine Les Pallières
Gigondas - Owner Brunier family : Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
97/100 James Suckling
"A textured, lively and precise Gigondas, revealing aromas of black cherries, blackcurrants, flowers, Mediterranean garrigue and warm spices. Full-bodied, it has powdery tannins and a refined texture that is silky yet lively, clean and vibrant. Lots of energy and direction. Old vine character in the concentrated mid-palate, with intense, spicy notes of wild herbs. Flavoursome and dynamic. The finish lingers for a long time. Drink now or keep."
A wine for laying down.
Owned by the Brunier family (or Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe and American importer Kermit Lynch), Domaine Les Pallières bottles two cuvées of Gigondas each year. The Terrasse du Diable comes from the highest and coolest parcels, while Les Racines comes from the plateau surrounding the estate itself and includes the oldest vines on the property. Of the two, Le Diable is generally the more powerful wine, but it never seems to lack elegance. There is also an interesting barrel-fermented rosé produced as a Vin de France.
