Beautifully perfumed (lychee, white peaches, violets), never excessive or weighty, a lovely expression of Condrieu. Given seven to eight months in oak 'barriques, of which 10% new, and kept on stirred lees throughout so as to develop complex aromas of exotic fruits and flowers. L&S (Jun 2011)

Gaillard also produces a small quantity of Condrieu. His beautiful 2010 offers up notes of honeysuckle, lychee nuts and tropical fruits in a medium to full-bodied format. Impressive purity, good acidity and a long finish suggest it will drink well for 1-2 years. Rating: 91 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (May 2012)
Pungent, savoury nose. Just a hint of honeysuckle and great definition and intensity. Bravo! Rating: 17 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Dec 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.
