2017 Domaine Les Pallieres Gigondas Les Racines, Rhone, France (750ml)

TASTING NOTES:

“Despite being riper and more concentrated than the Terrasse du Diable bottling, the 2017 Gigondas Les Racines shares a similarly edgy structure. Potent raspberry fruit is delivered on a full-bodied, richly textured palate that finishes crisp and a bit jagged. Give it a couple of years in the cellar, and it should be fine for drinking over the next 10 years. Range: 93-95 points“
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 95 pts

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

Les Racines, a cuve made with grapes from the estates oldest vines, has the velvet, depth and harmony that defines old grenache when cultivated in refined terroirs. It has very high ageing potential, as balance is the main factor.
