Pierre Gaillard Cote-Rotie Rose Pourpre 2019
Harvesting for this wine was done by hand and the fruit was all de-stemmed
before crushing. It was aged for 18 months in Allier and Nevers barrels. These
barrels were all new, and this powerhouse of a wine has soaked it up. The 2019
is a spectacular example. Layered, opulent and deep, there is real mineral
impact here and, while the (classy) oak needs a little more time to integrate
with the wine's flesh (it is well on its way), fans of this wine will not mind
waiting a few years. Fine tannins add to the picture, tapering to a commanding
finish with superb, long-lasting favours. A striking wine.
