"Elegance and pleasure"

“There is a certain charm to this Plan de Dieu, which opens with a delicate, aromatic nose featuring distinct notes of blackcurrant. Tasters praised the wine’s silky roundness and its luscious flavors, which deliver a unique sensation of fullness and indulgence.” (Le Guide des Vins Hachette 2020)

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 Pasquiers estate 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 in close proximity to the famous Dentelles de Montmirail. The winemaking and aging processes prioritize gentle extraction and well-integrated oak. The range is well-defined, and each wine offers a very well-balanced profile.

About the estate:

Jean-Claude and Philippe Lambert took over this 85-hectare vineyard in 1998 and began selling bottled wine four years later. The fourth generation joined the business in 2013, and the vineyard was certified organic that same year.
