Les Pallieres 2023 Gigondas "Terrasse du Diable", Rhone Valley

Les Pallières is the joint venture between importer Kermit Lynch and the Brunier Family, owners of the superb Chateauneuf-du-Pape estate Vieux Telegraphe. 

“The only red Gigondas from Domaine Les Pallières this year due to the coulure-derived absence of the Racines, the 2023 Gigondas Terrasse du Diable was bottled in May 2025. Blending 95% Grenache with dollops of Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvèdre, it unwinds with ripe red plum, raspberry and leafy tones. Herbal elements add more complexity. Smoothly textured and refined, the medium- to full-bodied 2023 Terrasse du Diable stands shoulder to shoulder with the 2022 I tasted a year ago.”--Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous
