From a one hectare parcel of vines worked biodynamically this wine has a wonderful expression of minerality and focussed fruit. It is immensely concentrated, yet without being anything other than totally charming, voluptuous even and very, very drinkable. Notes of dry peach stones, sweet flowers and bright acidity with tremendous length, this is glorious now and will will probably be something magical with a decade in bottle. Exceptional. L&S (Jun 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.
