Domaine Les Pallières

Domaine Les Pallières is a stunning vineyard nestled against the slopes of the Dentelles de Montmirail in the Rhône Valley, spanning 25 hectares and masterfully planted by the Hilarion Roux family in the heart of a northwestern-facing Mediterranean forest. It was in 1998 that the Brunier brothers and Kermit Lynch seized the opportunity and decided to become owners of this superb site planted with Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Clairette, and Bourboulenc, thereby cementing a partnership that began more than 20 years earlier with the importation of the first cases of Vieux Télégraphe to the United States.

The early years were naturally devoted to restoring the vineyards of Domaine Les Pallières. Four years later, the new winery was built, where they worked diligently to strictly adhere to their philosophy of receiving grapes by gravity, and where the production from each plot could finally receive very specific care, given their diverse characteristics.

The style of Domaine Les Pallières has now been established. It was shaped by the landscape, by the influence of this unique exposure, and by the limestone scree descending from the foothills of the Dentelles, blended with the sandy-clay soil from which the roots of a very old vineyard draw their nourishment. A style that is at once rugged and elegant, warm and mineral, Domaine Les Pallières produces a Gigondas par excellence for aging.
