Located in the commune of \u003cb\u003eGigondas\u003c\/b\u003e, this beautiful property functions as a vibrant natural ecosystem. Twenty-five hectares of ancient vines, averaging nearly seventy years of age, sit on stepped hillsides surrounded by cherry, fig, olive, and walnut trees. To ensure these historic slopes thrive, the vineyard terraces have been carefully reinforced to capture and retain rainwater, allowing the deep-rooted vines to flourish in the warm climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate holds an incredible history, having operated as a continuously running family farm from the fifteenth century right up until the late nineteen nineties. When the property slowly began to fall into disrepair, the Roux brothers decided to sell the historic site in 1998. It was rescued by Daniel and Frédéric Brunier, the brothers behind the legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate Vieux Télégraphe, alongside their longtime importer Kermit Lynch. This partnership breathed new life into the historic domaine, transforming it into a modern powerhouse while fiercely protecting its heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the purchase, monumental improvements have been made both in the vineyards and the cellar. A completely new winery was constructed, allowing the team to receive harvested grapes directly into gravity-fed tanks. This remarkably gentle handling ensures that each individual parcel of fruit is treated with incredible precision. Today, these exceptional \u003cb\u003eGigondas wines\u003c\/b\u003e are highly sought after and poured in some of the most celebrated restaurants across France, offering you an incredibly rewarding taste of world-class \u003cb\u003eFrench wine\u003c\/b\u003e\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.
