Tasting Notes
This wine has a pretty garnet colour, limpid and brilliant. Nose on notes fresh red fruits, crushed strawberries, accompanied by peppery notes. The palate is supple, round, the tannins are fine and light, for a wine easy to drink and fruity, with good length.
Producer Profile
At the bottom of the Dentelles de Montmirail, in the lovely village of Gigondas, Claude Roux shares his passion of wine and terroir with his two children Isabelle and Julien.
Notre Dame des Pallières is a very old family estate whose name comes from the middle ages and more specifically from the miraculous water source located at the edge of their estate. This source had the power to protect from the terrific plague.
Past history shows that the local people built a chapel where the Virgin appeared. Today it only remains a wall as well as a wooden statue, which can now be found in the Gigondas church. Isabelle and Julien’s grandfather, Lucien Roux, officially gave it his name in 1935.
Viticulture
The Notre Dame des Pallières vineyards covers thirty hectares and produce respectful famous appellations with regard to nature : Gigondas, Rasteau, Sablet, Lirac & Côtes du Rhône. The wine estate gathers typical grape varieties from the Rhône valley such as Grenache, Mourvèdre & Syrah in order to produce highly traditional vinified quality grapes.
The vines find a strong anchor in quaternary river alluvial soils under the Trignon Valley, and the perfect growing conditions due to the favourable micro climate and exceptional sunshine. Isabelle and Julien’s great grandfather, Jules Roux, planted the oldest vines the family have in Gigondas.
The vines that make up this Côtes du Rhône are located on the terroirs of Sablet and Séguret, this diversity gives the wine its inimitable particularity.
