The 2022 Domaine Les Pallières “Racines” Gigondas is a powerful and elegant Rhône red from old-vine Grenache (with Syrah and Cinsault), showcasing depth, precision and strong ageing potential. The nose is intense and perfumed, with dark cherry, cassis and plum layered with flowers, spice, garrigue herbs and a touch of liquorice.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine-grained, silky tannins and a structured yet refined texture. Concentrated dark fruit, pepper and savoury mineral notes lead to a long, vibrant and harmonious finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A top-tier Gigondas for Rhône lovers who want both power and finesse. Still youthful—decant if drinking now or cellar for 8–15+ years. Perfect with lamb, game or rich Mediterranean dishes.

About the region

Rhône Valley · Gigondas

The Rhône is really two regions under one name. In the north, between Vienne and Valence, Syrah grows alone on steep granite terraces at Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas and Saint-Joseph, while Viognier makes the perfumed whites of Condrieu. Further south the valley widens and warms, and Grenache leads blends drawn from a long list of permitted varieties at Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. The two halves share a river and little else.
