GIGONDAS

 

Domaine Les Pallières, Les Racines 2022 
17. Cask sample. Very appealing and vibrant nose, which is packed full of drack fruit, thyme and herbal notes. A rich, dense, compact palate with lavender, garrigue and firm but succulent tannins – lovely extraction. Liquorice and leather on the textured finish. Plush and structure.
Drink 2025 – 2033

 

Domaine Les Pallières, Terrasse du Diable 2022 
16,5. Cask sample. Crushed red fruits, garrigue. The nose is spiced ans has crushed strawberry, sweet fruit and nice, structured tannins. Applealing and needs some years, but well balanced ; the alcohol is not overpowering and there is a freshness to the finish.
Drink 2024 – 2030

 

CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE

 

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, Télégramme 2022

17. Cask sample. Juicy, lively, inviting nose. Notes of tabasco and white pepper. Sweet, succulent, tight tannins. Surprisingly open and ready already, yet still has texture and structure.
Drink 2025-2034

 

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, Piedlong 2022

17. Cask sample. Brimming with red fruits. A real sweetness and firm tannins on the attack – an earthy and spiced note on the mid palate and a rich, layered finish. Pretty sweet sensation of fruit here. Attractive and great concentration of fruit. A baby but shows great potential.
Drink 2028-2040

Fresh and honeyed nose. Rich palate and some sweetness. Really textured and weighty, with a warming richness on the finish. Honey, marzipan and fennel. Ripe and layered.
