Nestled among vineyards near the village of Gigondas sits Notre Dame des Pallières, a family-run winery specializing in the wines of the southern Rhône. Val and I go every year to stock up, and we’ve never been disappointed.

I first discovered their wines over 20 years ago in California. They were so good and so reasonably priced that Val and I sought out the winery when we started living in Provence. We’ve been back ever since, and in the meantime the winemaking has passed from the 4th generation of the Roux family to the 5th!

For anyone interested in delicious wines that are not very expensive, either in France or the US, these are definitely bottles to search out.

Real all about this gem of a winery in Perfectly Provence!
