Domaine Les Pallieres Description
Fresh and airy on the nose, with hints of tobacco and licorice. The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.
James Suckling: 95 Points
Concentrated and silky with fine, fantastic tannins for the 2021 vintage, this is earthy and meaty with excellent concentration and a very long, firm yet polished finish. A cuvee based on grenache from vines growing around the winery. Should age extremely well. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
Vinous: 93-94 Points
Saturated ruby-red. On the nose, suggestions of licorice, lavender, succulent herbs and white pepper accompany incisive red and blue fruit scents. Spice-laced raspberry and boysenberry flavors show a solid mineral backbone and sharp focus. Unfurls on the extremely long, penetrating finish, featuring gently gripping tannins and resonating spice and floral notes. Made with 20% whole clusters.
