| “... While in his 20s, [Alvaro] Palacios who comes from a famous Rioja winemaking family (owners of the Bodegas Palacios Remondo), apprenticed with Christian Moueix at Château Pétrus and Château Trotanoy. He then followed Catalonian René Barbier to Priorato, where he was so impressed with the ancient soils and potential for high quality that he decided to establish his vineyard in this viticultural backwater ... the belief was that there could be no commercial winemaking in Priorato ....the naysayers were proven wrong. “ (Robert Parker Jr., The World’s Greatest Wine Estates, 2005.) Collector’s know that Les Terrasses is highly scored and highly sought-after year after year. |
