Juicy, peppery and just the right side of rustic. Grenache and Syrah team up for a burst of red berries, a touch of darker fruit and that classic Rhône spice. Medium-bodied, fresh and very easy to like.

The Lambert family have been at it since 1935, moving from supplying the local co-op to running their own show. Their vineyards are scattered through Plan de Dieu, Sablet and Gigondas, where sun-drenched gravel and clay soils bring ripeness and spice to the fruit. These days it’s the next generation, working organically and keeping things honest in the vineyard and cellar. Domaine des Pasquiers is a proper family affair with plenty of Rhône charm.
