Located to the north of the Dentelles de Montmirail, in the commune of Gigondas, Les Pallières is a little paradise on earth. The domaine had been a continuously running farm within the same family since the fifteenth century and Les Pallières was once a famous domaine with wines of impeccable character, yet the property had slowly fallen into disrepair and by 1998, the Roux brothers wanted to make a change. With no future successors to take their place, they decided to sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was eventually purchased by the Brunier brothers, Daniel and Frédéric, of the famed Vieux Télégraphe in Châteauneuf-du-Pape alongside Kermit Lynch, their longtime American importer. Since then huge improvements and investments have been made both in the vineyards and the cellar. The 25 hectares of vines, with an average age of 65-70 years, are grouped in hillsides around the estate buildings and are dotted with cherry trees, fig trees, olive trees, peach trees, walnut trees in addition to the many trees that make up the surrounding forest. Terraces have now been built and reinforced, allowing for better water retention and a new winery was built to receive the harvested parcels individually in gravity-fed tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLes Pallières has always been sold by the top restaurants in France and their wines are becoming increasingly sought after.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"les-pallieres-au-petit-bonheur-rose-jeroboam-300cl","title":"Les Pallières Au Petit Bonheur Rosé | Jeroboam (300cl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Blanc de Noirs was first made at Les Pallières in 2004. After a few years’ work, observation and results following the purchase, it was felt desirable to set aside a few hectares of vines - given the personality imparted by their soil\/variety pairing - and devote them to an easy-drinking wine. Au Petit Bonheur is the only Vin de France produced by the Brunier family in the Rhône Valley. It is made with Grenache Noir, Cinsault and Clairette grapes, pressed straight after hand-picking and then jointly fermented and matured in oak (650-litre demi-muids). After gentle filtering to impart brilliance and clarity, it is bottled at winter’s end following the harvest. The wine has a very French name: « Au Petit Bonheur - Les Pallières » A little bit of happiness… it’s a name that conjures the convivial pleasure of summer wines, but also the serendipity of this cuvée, which owes nothing to technology and has come to being almost by accident.
