2020 Gigondas “Terrasse du Diable” MAGNUM
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.
