Producer Information

Domaine Pierre Gaillard is a well-regarded wine producer based in Malleval, in the northern Rhône Valley. It is perhaps best-known for its range of local Côte Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, Cornas, and Crozes-Hermitage wines. It also owns vineyard sites that stretch beyond the northern Rhône to the Languedoc-Roussillon, and makes a number of wines from grape varieties like Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Viognier and Roussanne. Pierre Gaillard bought his first vineyard parcels in Clos de Cuminailles in Saint-Joseph in 1981, establishing Domaine Pierre Gaillard six years later. The domaine now stands at a total of 77 hectares (190 acres), following a series of acquisitions in the Rhône, Banyuls-sur-Mer and Faugères. The estate in the northern Rhône comprises 25 hectares (62 acres) of vines planted across appellations and regions including Côte Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, Cornas, and Crozes-Hermitage, as well as in the Côtes-du-Rhône and Collines Rhodaniennes winemaking zones. The steep, largely granite slopes are planted to Syrah, Viognier and Roussanne, and produce approximately 120,000 bottles of wine per year.
