Producer Profile

Pallieres

This Estate is jointly owned Brunier Family and well known USA Importer Kermit Lynch. The regular wine was split into two different cuvées in 2007, one from near the Domaine (Les Racines), the other from higher up (Terrasse du Diable).

The Racines is produced from 80-85% Grenache, 5-7.5% Syrah, 5-7.5% Cinsault , 5% Clairette Blanche from vineyards near the cellars at 250 metres. The grapes are 80% destemmed and undergo a gentle crush with a 30-35 day fermentation in concrete and oak vats. They are left in large oak vats for 10 months before being transferred into large 60 hl barrel for an additional 7-9 months before bottling unfined and unfiltered.

The Terrasse du Diable is produced from 85% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% Clairette Blanche from the higher zones of the domaine, around 300-400 metres. The grapes are 80% destemmed with a gentle crush and a 30-35 day fermentation in concrete and oak vats. They then go into large 100 hl oak vats for 10-11 months and then into large 60 hl barrel for a further 10-12 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. JON OSBIESTON View Producer Page

Pallieres / Rhone Valley / France / rhone Blend / 2016

Brilliant ruby-red. A hugely expressive, seductively perfumed bouquet evokes ripe dark fruits, potpourri and licorice, lifted by a smoky mineral overtone. Concentrated yet lively in style, showing noteworthy clarity and thrust to the cherry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors. Becomes nervier and spicier on the youthfully tannic finish, which hangs on with superb tenacity. 95 points. JOSH RAYNOLDS, Vinous

Ripe and fresh, with good purity to the mix of red currant and damson plum coulis flavors that stretch out against a floral and alder backdrop. Offers a pretty, piercing feel to the finish. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Clairette. Best from 2020 through 2030. 200 cases imported. JM, Wine Spectator

From a cool site at 300-400 meters above sea level, the 2017 Gigondas Terrasse du Diable is a blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Mourvèdre. It boasts knockout aromas of violets, garrigue and purple raspberries, with an undercurrent of black cherries. It's full-bodied and concentrated, with bright, crunchy acids. The overall impression is of a wine with sharper edges than the harmonious 2016 or 2018. Cellar it a couple of years and then enjoy it over the following decade. JOE CZERWINSKI, Wine Advocate
