2011 Condrieu, L'Octroi, Domaine Pierre Gaillard

Condrieu, L'Octroi, Domaine Pierre Gaillard
A 1 hectare plot in Malleval is responsible for Pierre’s top Condrieu, its steep southern orientation and sandy granitic soils to blame for its faultless mineral profile and extraordinary length. 8 months in Allier and Nevers oak, with weekly battonnage, have rounded out the palate which is dominated by notes of lychee, violet and white peach.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer

Stéphane Ogier is now, arguably, the leading producer in Côte-Rôtie. Confident, modest and courteous, in short he is the perfect ambassador for the appellation. Stéphane now farms 12 parcels in Côte-Rôtie and has also launched a well-named Côtes du Rhône (Le Temps est Venu which we will sell elsewhere). He held his nerve through the rainy patches in September and the relatively late-picking has been rewarded with a superb range of wines. Stéphane compares their style, with more acidity and less alcohol than usual, to 2006, a vintage which has developed very nicely indeed.Domaine Pierre Gaillard
