The Gaillard Côte-Rôtie is a co-fermented blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier from the schist soils of Fongeant and Viallière (Ampuis), and a parcel of vines on gneiss at Semons in the south of the appellation. All the fruit was harvested by hand with a strict selection, ensuring only the finest bunches and berries made it into the final blend. Fruit was 100% de-stemmed and vinification involved a five-day, pre-fermentation soak and then regular punch-downs. The wine spent 18 months in barrique (50% new) and was bottled unfiltered.

Reviews

“Very dark robe; the bouquet has a beefy nature, is clad with ripe, full black berry-cassis fruit that carries sweetness. The palate is furnished with sweetly tuned coulis of blackberry flavours, is all about its immediate, giving, pleasing fruit, will be easy to appreciate. It ends roundly, backed by mild, fine tannins. It’s almost like a scented St Joseph rather than a wine of great structure, nothing wrong with that. It will tune in well to young drinkers, is based on fruit and fun, is w.o.w. Rôtie. From mid-2022. early-drinking pleasure.”
