Les Pallières
This Gigondas estate in the southern Rhône is today owned by Daniel Brunier of the Brunier family - which also own the storied property of Vieux Télégraphe. Since acquiring Les Pallières, Brunier and his partners have made dramatic improvements in its quality (although not prices). So this estate is clearly one to seek out. Here is what the experts say:
“Les Pallières, one of the iconic estates of Gigondas, is now owned (and has been reinvigorated) by the partnership of Vieux Telegraphe’s Daniel Brunier and the well-known American boutique wine importer, Kermit Lynch. Brunier and Lynch have done a fabulous job turning this estate around, and they continue to fine tune." Robert M. Parker Jr.
"This historic property was, for decades, a solid source for traditional Gigondas … their wines must be counted among the best of the appellation and, in fact, the entire southern Rhône Valley." - Josh Reynolds, Vinous
