Domaine Pierre Gaillard, Rhônehealthy grapes, naturally…Pierre Gaillard believes that great wines come first and foremost from fine grapes, and each day in the vineyard he demonstrates his intention to produce ripe, perfectly healthy grapes.
Magnificent slope of the Côte Bellay parcel To achieve this, he regulates the vigour of his vines by exploiting high-density planting and operational methods which increase the surface of leaf exposed to sunlight. The practice of thinning out both leaves and supernumerary grapes give the berries the warm, dry environment they need to ripen and remain healthy. Using these methods on vines growing in these terroirs brings very low yields of the Syrah, Viognier and Roussanne varieties, so the berries contain all the aromatic richness of their variety and maintain a correct balance between sugar and acidity.
The harvest Concerned for the future of his lands and the quality of his wines, Pierre Gaillard grows his grapes in as natural a way as possible, using phytosanitary products and organic fertilizers appropriate to the needs of his vines.
