Saint-Joseph Pierre Gaillard 2021
The wine
If we don’t see much of the Saint Joseph appellation any more, it’s because it’s becoming harder to procure at a decent price. This is what Pierre Gaillard, a great winemaker of Côtes Rôties and Saint Joseph has ascertained. With this cuvée, he presents a wine that is made to be aged thanks to a long maceration and an 18-month maturation in French, oak barrels.
About the Producer Pierre Gaillard
Pierre Gaillard bought Clos de Cuminaille in Malleval in the early 1980s when he had completed his studies in viticulture and oenology. His passion for wine growing, which was sparked when he was 12, inspired him to establish other vineyards in the South of France, namely Madeloc in Banyuls-sur-Mer in 2002 and Cottebrune in Faugères in 2007. Today he manages 77 hectares of vineyards and always strives to achieve just the right hygiene and temperature conditions to get the best from each harvest, plot and grape variety. His wines are in high demand for their clean and polished character.
