The estate : Gaillard is certainly one of the greatest names in the Rhône Valley. Heading four estates (two in the Rhône Valley and two in Languedoc-Roussillon), the family's historic vineyard is nonetheless that of the Pierre Gaillard estate. With 25 hectares, it covers the finest appellations in the north of the region, notably Condrieu and Côte Rôtie. Arriving in 1981, Pascale and Pierre Gaillard now work with their three children and offer wines full of finesse and elegance that every enthusiast should (re)discover. Syrah, Viognier, but also Marsanne and Roussanne are lovingly and passionately cultivated here on predominantly schist and granite soils. Discover their cuvées, you won't be disappointed!
