Pierre Gaillard Côte-Rôtie 2016

Over de Pierre Gaillard Côte-Rôtie 2016

This aromatic and deliciously textured Côte-Rôtie is a blend of Syrah from Viallière in the north and Beton in the south. It comes from a parcel at Fongeant on the Côte Blonde and has 10% Viognier in the blend. All the fruit is harvested by hand with a strict selection so that only the ripest bunches and berries make it into the final blend. It is 100% destemmed and the vinification is traditional with long skin contact and regular punch downs and pumping over. The wine then spends 18 months in barrique. It has an almost Burgundian set of characteristics about it; very aromatic, with violet, blackberry and underlying spice notes, a creamy palate with round tannins and then a crisp, aromatic close. A delightful Côte-Rôtie that is already drinking well.
