We just made a special purchase of the remaining stock of the 2016 Domaine Palon Gigondas. This lush, fruit-forward Rhone blend has become a customer and staff favorite and we know this wine very well. The distributor needed to make room for the next vintage and offered us special pricing. We immediately jumped on it and took every bottle they had. We are now able to offer this delicious wine at a reduced price.

This wine offers enormous appeal with richly textured fruit flavors which remains fresh and oh so drinkable. The mouthfeel is round and full-bodied yet balanced with beautiful, silky tannins. The overall impression is one that is harmonious with a wonderful polished texture, culminating in a surprisingly long finish. The Wine Advocate gave this outstanding wine 92 points, calling it, "A lush fruit-bomb with enormous appeal". We completely agree and love the richness, intensity and concentration of this wine!

Sheltered by the Dentelles de Montmirail, Domaine Palon basks in its Mediterranean climate crafting a wine of color, depth and well-ripened fruit. This commune northeast of Chateauneuf du Pape is well-known for the quality of its Grenache-based wines which are blended with Syrah and Mourvedre.

The Palon family has farmed the land since the 1930s and sold wine to the local co-operative until Sebastien began bottling under the family name. The grapes are picked by hand and carefully sorted to retain only the best berries.

This wine is an absolute crowd pleaser. Already an outstanding value at $19.95, our special pricing of $16.99 makes this a complete no-brainer. Get it while you can!

WINE ADVOCATE 92 POINTS - "The 2016 Gigondas Tradition is a lush fruit-bomb with enormous appeal. Hints of marzipan add nuance to ripe cherry fruit in this full-bodied, creamy-textured wine that finishes with a hint of warmth. It's not the most complex wine, but it offers a ton of luscious fruit for drinking over the next 5 years."
