Domaine Pierre Gaillard Côte-Rôtie Rosé Pourpre 2021, Northern Rhône, France. From 100% Syrah planted in the steep Côte Rozier lieu-dit of schist-granite soils next to La Landonne, this Domaine Pierre Gaillard Côte-Rôtie Rosé Pourpre 2021 reveals deep ruby aromas of black plums, smoked cherries, violets, black pepper and graphite minerality.

Full-bodied and resonant on the palate with mouthcoating clay tannins, dark fruits, wild herbs, silky texture and vibrant freshness, it builds to a long, spicy finish of elegant power and finesse – pure Brune-style intensity from Gaillard’s masterful hand. Roast game, beef or hare à la royale find perfection; cellar this thrilling Côte-Rôtie benchmark now.
