The 2023 Domaine Les Pallières Terrasse du Diable Gigondas is a refined and expressive Rhône blend from high-altitude vineyards in Gigondas, crafted mainly from Grenache with smaller amounts of Mourvèdre, Syrah and Clairette. The 2023 vintage is particularly distinctive, offering a more open, aromatic and approachable style due to lower yields and concentrated fruit. The nose is perfumed and vibrant, showing red berries, cherry and plum, layered with wildflowers, herbs and baking spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky, polished tannins and a supple texture. Juicy red and dark fruit, pepper and subtle mineral notes lead to a long, elegant and finely balanced finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A more approachable Gigondas vintage with great freshness and charm—ideal for Rhône lovers who want elegance over power. Enjoy now with decanting or over the next 5–10 years. Perfect with lamb, grilled meats or Mediterranean dishes.
