2010 Cornas, Domaine Pierre Gaillard

Cornas, Domaine Pierre Gaillard
Old vines inherited from Marcel Juge and located on the mid-Coteaux above the village. Impressive ripe tannins with an authoritative mid-palate, dominated by mature cassis, crushed rock and an almost balsamic texture.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

The Medieval village of Malleval, perched high above the serpentine Rhône, provides a suitably lofty homestead for Pierre Gaillard, one of the most influential and highly respected vignerons in the valley. His legacy seems to be in good hands, if our tasting with his daughter Jeanne and son Pierre-Antoine is anything to go by. This was a fascinating (and lengthy!) barrel tasting, rehearsing the minutiae of differences between parcels and underlining the sheer quality of the vintage.

Cornas, Domaine Pierre Gaillard
A strong effort, the 2010 Cornas’s inky/black/purple color is followed by notes of pepper, roasted meats, incense and blackberries. With good minerality as well as serious tannins, it will require 3-5 years of cellaring and should keep 15 or more years.
