Winemaker:Pierre Gaillard
This is from Pierre’s walled Clos de Cuminaille vineyard, planted in 1981, which lies in the slopes of Malleval. Deep ruby-purple, aromas are captivatingly attractive, being full of floral black cherries. Palate is striking for its velvety texture and bounteous middle fruit. The high elevation shines through in its airiness and lift, balancing natural richness. There is beautiful, fine concentration, precise structure and super length (for drinking 2025-2032+).

Winemaker
Pierre Gaillard
Producing wines that are generous and harmonious is what Pierre Gaillard and his daughter Jeanne strive for at their family Domaine. Pierre was not born into a family of winemakers – his mother was a nurse and his father worked for the railways – but his passion for outdoor life and learning led him to a career in wine. He studied viticulture and oenology in Beaune and Montpellier, going on to work as Vineyard Manager at Guigal in Côte-Rôtie. He bought his first vines in 1981. 3 hectares in Saint-Joseph’s Clos de Cuminaille, in the high slopes of the commune of Malleval, at the northern edge of Saint-Joseph. Pierre now makes wines from 70 hectares, spread across the northern Rhône. Understanding the minutiae and complexities of each parcel, Pierre skilfully translates these details into each wine he makes.
