2024 Domaine Notre Dame des Pallieres Cotes du Rhone Villages Sablet L'Olivet Glera which bespeaks the chalky terroir93 Points, Decanter "Bright and smoky nose with herbal nuances, really engaging. Full bodied, rounded and ripe, so quite opulent for a Sablet. There's a good sense of tension, ripe tannins, ending with a fruit filled, peacock's tail of a finish. Pretty glorious! 40 year old vines, hand picked, destemmed. 93 points." Matt Walls, October 2024
