Rated estate (2018 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
For three generations, the Domaine des Pasquiers has been producing Côtes-du-Rhône, Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Plan-de-Dieu, and Gigondas wines. The Plan-de-Dieu terroir consists primarily of red clay covered with rounded pebbles, while Gigondas lies close to the famous Dentelles de Montmirail. The winemaking and aging processes emphasize gentle extraction and well-integrated oak. The range is well-defined, and each vintage offers a superb balance.
