The 2021 Domaine Les Pallières Terrasse du Diable Gigondas is a refined and terroir-driven Rhône blend from high-altitude vineyards in Gigondas, crafted mainly from Grenache with small amounts of Mourvèdre and Clairette. It reflects a cooler, mineral-driven style with elegance and structure. The nose is complex and expressive, showing red berries, cherry and plum, layered with violet, spice, herbs and a touch of smoky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, structured tannins and a silky texture. Juicy red and dark fruit, pepper and savoury notes lead to a long, fresh and mineral-driven finish with excellent balance and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A premium Gigondas for customers who enjoy Châteauneuf-du-Pape or Rhône blends with elegance and freshness. Best decanted if drinking now or cellar for 5–10+ years. Perfect with lamb, grilled meats or hearty Mediterranean dishes.
