Domaine des Pallières Gigondas Domaine Pierre Quiot 1966
The Domaine des Pallières Gigondas from the 1966 vintage is a red wine produced by Domaine Pierre Quiot. Designated as a Tête de Cuvée, this release features the phrase 'Quelques gouttes de Soleil' on the neck label, translating to 'a few drops of sun.' Following its production in France, this specific bottle was imported into Italy by Ditta Essevi in Milan.
The wine originates from Gigondas, an important cru appellation situated at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail in the Southern Rhône. The Rhône Valley in southeastern France has a rich viticultural history dating back to Roman times. While the northern part of the region is defined by steep slopes, the warmer southern section is renowned for its Grenache-based blends. Wines from Gigondas are traditionally crafted from Grenache, supported by Syrah and Mourvèdre, often drawing comparisons to Châteauneuf-du-Pape but distinguished by a firmer, more mountainous character.
According to the estate, this cru underwent a long aging process before being bottled directly at the property. Domaine Pierre Quiot emphasizes that the wine was only prepared for release once it had fully developed, maintaining their guarantee of authenticity and quality as a grower-producer.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Côtes du Rhône
The Rhône Valley in south-eastern France has grown wine since Roman times. The region falls into two parts: the northern section with steep slopes, where Syrah produces deep wines in Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, and the warmer south, where Grenache-based blends culminate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wines are spicy and powerful with dark berries, pepper and garrigue herbs.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
