Domaine Notre Dame des Pallieres Sablet L'Olivet 2024 alicante branco no frills approach Patrick takes

no frills approach Patrick takes produces far more interesting wines than most of his luxury-focused neighbors

but CVNE’s old school signature is still here

elevation of the vineyards

and a rare sort of freshness and aromatic complexity thanks to the lack of oak signature

Domaine Notre Dame des Pallieres Sablet L'Olivet 2024 alicante branco no frills approach Patrick takes"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." 91 points Decanter
