Tasting Notes

The nose is intense and rich, with notes of cocoa, kirsch cherry, pepper, tobacco. Very nice roundness in the mouth, with lots sweetness, well-coated tannins and great length on the finish, with notes of mocha, roasting and ripe fruit.

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 Gigondas vines nestle on the hillsides of the small valley du Trignon, with a micro climate of cool nights conducive to vines: the southwest exposure allows them to enjoy the setting sun in the Rhône Valley. The nights are cool and airy, which favours the slow mutation of the grape. The limestone gravel subsoil, very poor, has the advantage of draining rainwater well. (Fluvial alluvium from medium terraces dating from the Riss.)

Winemaking

The selection of old vines is harvested manually, 80% of the bunches are then destemmed. The grapes remain in vats more than 30 days, during which reassembly and load shedding follow one another with temperature control (max. 30°); then racking and pressing marcs of which the wine says: “press” is discarded; when malolactic fermentation finishes, aging takes place for 10 months in French oak barrels (1/3 new, 1/3 of “1 wine”, 1/3 of “2 wines”).
