Pierre Gaillard is celebrated for excellent expressions of Rhône varietals, and the Cote-Rotie Esprit de Blonde 2016 is no exception. This exquisite red wine hails from the sun-kissed vineyards of Cote-Rotie, a highly-regarded wine-producing region in France. The grape varietals in this territory flourish in decomposed schist and mica schist soils, imparting distinct minerality into the wines produced here. The 'esprit' in the name, which translates to 'spirit,' captures the soulful characteristics of these vineyards. Like all Pierre Gaillard Cote-Rotie Esprit de Blonde 2016, this vintage was nurtured through meticulous selection of grapes, diligent crushing, and prolonged maceration, before maturation in French oak barrels for 18 months. It is an embodiment of the producer's passion for excellence and an ode to the magnificent terroir of northern Rhône. This elegant Syrah offers complex aromas of red fruit, spices and violets, underscored by smooth tannins and a lingering, full-bodied finish. |

Made from 55 year old vines in Cote Brune, near Fongeant ; no Viognier is used and the Syrah undergoes a partial de-stemming. Quite a powerful nose, bold dark fruits with toasty spice and a slight tinge of smoked meat. Gutsy and persistent, full and round and multi-layered; a particularly masculine example of Cote Rotie, befitting of the Cote Brune, though with plenty of silky finesse. Drink 2018-2033
