2022 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.

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
