Key words: Balance / Elegance / Power
The wine: This enjoyable Côte Rôtie from the Gaillard estate comes from a blend of steep plots of the Côte Blonde (terroir of gneiss) as well as the Côte Brune (schist soils). Aged for 18 months in oak barrels (30% of which are new), this great wine from the Rhône Valley presents a superb balance between power and elegance. The tannins are silky and notes of blackberry, cherry, plum and violet mingle with a beautiful spicy (pepper, cinnamon, vanilla) and oaky texture. The whole shows great harmony and will be appreciated at the table with white and red meats. In summary, a great Côte Rôtie!

The estate: Gaillard is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in the Rhône Valley. At the head of four properties (two in the Rhône Valley and two in Languedoc-Roussillon), the siblings' historic vineyard is nevertheless that of the domaine Pierre Gaillard. With 25 hectares, it covers the most beautiful appellations in the north of the region, notably those of Condrieu and Côte Rôtie. Arriving in 1981, Pascale and Pierre Gaillard work today with their three children and offer wines imbued with finesse and elegance that every wine enthusiast must (re)discover. Syrah, Viognier but also Marsanne and Roussanne are cultivated here with love and passion on predominantly schist and granite terroirs. Discover their vintages, you will not be disappointed!
