    Estate

    Domaine Pierre Gaillard is a well-established estate in the Northern Rhône appellation known for producing wines that truly express the uniqueness of their terroir. The family expertise is combined with a rigorous and traditional approach to winemaking.

    Vineyard

    Located in the prestigious Côte Rôtie appellation, the vineyard benefits from granitic and schist soils with perfect sun exposure. The climate, a balance of sun and coolness, encourages optimal ripening of the grapes.
