Les Pallieres Racines Gigondas 2019

The 2019 Les Pallieres Racines Gigondas is a hearty and complex red wine produced from old vines averaging seventy years of age in the southern Rhone Valley. This blend primarily features eighty percent Grenache supplemented by Syrah, Cinsault, and Clairette, resulting in a deep ruby color and a sumptuous texture. The aromatic profile is led by blackcurrant, wild strawberries, and garrigue, while the palate offers a rich and multi-layered experience with firm tannins and a lovely mineral depth. Aged for twenty months in French oak foudres, this wine presents an elegant density and a crisp finish that pairs exceptionally well with lamb, beef, or strong cheeses.
