Be it a St Joseph, a Côte Rôtie or Condrieu, every time you open a bottle with his name on it you know you are going to get a thrilling, bristling expression of the site from where it came. That’s his thing. There is no dead weight in the Gaillard cellar and each wine offers precision and purity. This is not to suggest Gaillard is a technocrat. Far from it.

Pierre Gaillard Rose Pourpre Cote Rotie Rouge 2009

100% Syrah. Meaty nose. Complex. Not the most typical Côte Rôtie - sort of halfway to a LaLa - but sincere and well made. I do prefer the regular version though... 16.5++ points, Jancis Robinson Nov 2010
