Domaine Les Pallières is owned by the Brunier family of Domaine Vieux Télégraphe and produce two cuvées of Gigondas each vintage. Les Racines is a blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah-Cinsault (co-planted) and 5% Clairette from the terraced lieu-dit of Les Pallières and is aged for 18 months in a combination of cuves and foudres. 2017 was a superb vintage in the southern Rhône and this is a wonderfully lush and full-bodied release, offering up rich notes of black cherry, raspberry, garrigue and dried flowers. The tannins are ripe and supple providing plenty of textural fibre, with vineyard elevation and intelligent winemaking lending welcome freshness and elegance.

Vinous
Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Deeply pitched, smoke- and spice-accented aromas of black raspberry and cherry liqueur, garrigue and incense pick up an energizing mineral nuance with air. Plush and expansive in the mouth, offering impressively concentrated black/blue fruit, licorice and spicecake flavors that show excellent clarity and back-end power. Becomes sweeter as the wine opens up and finishes extremely long, with youthfully chewy tannins and lingering spiciness.Josh Raynolds1st February 2020
