WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Les Pallières Gigondas Terrasse du Diable is a premium red wine produced by the renowned winery Domaine Les Pallières in the Gigondas appellation of the Rhône Valley. The vineyard is situated on steep terraces with a unique terroir of red clay and limestone, which imparts a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques such as hand-harvesting, natural fermentation, and aging in oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Clairette grapes, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and herbs. It has a full-bodied and velvety texture, with a long and satisfying finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Les Pallières
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
