Pierre Gaillard began assembling his holdings in the 1980s and works from a base at Malleval, with vines across several northern Rhône appellations. The fruit for this wine comes from the schist soils of Fongeant and Viallière in Ampuis, together with a parcel planted on gneiss at Semons in the south of the appellation. Everything is picked by hand with a strict selection of bunches and berries. The grapes are fully destemmed and given a five-day cold soak before fermentation, then worked with regular punch-downs rather than hard extraction. The wine spends 18 months in barrique, half of it new, and is bottled unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfumed and unusually approachable young, it will also reward a decade in the cellar; serve at 16–18°C with roast duck, slow-cooked lamb shoulder or peppered beef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
