Like Gaillard’s other 2009’s, this Clos du Cuminaille is broody and a little introverted on the nose with dark cherry, bay leaf, white fennel and leather on the nose. The palate is vibrant on the entry with lively peppery red fruit, slightly chalky in texture with good attack and acidic cut on the finish. This is a very fine Saint Joseph. Tasted February 2011.

Domaine Pierre Gaillard
Pierre Gaillard's passion for wine-making developed at an early age when he was discovered ploughing in the vineyard with a plough horse when only twelve years old. After studying oenology at Montpelier he went on to work for a large estate in Côte Rôtie where he steeped himself in the 'terroirs' and traditions of this famous vineyard. In 1981 he bought his own vines in St Joseph and revived the 'Clos de Cuminaille', an ancient vineyard dating back to Roman times. Since then he has bought vines in both Côte Rôtie and Condrieu.
