This is a sleek, detailed and fragrant, offering from Gaillard, one of the Northern Rhone’s true stars.

Grapes from several parcels in the high country of Malleval, Chavanay, and Limony in the far north of the appellation go into this wine. The vines lie closer to Vienne and Condrieu than to Tournon-sur-Rhne in the south and Gaillards steep, cool soils have plenty of granite, which contributes to the mineral cut of this perfumed and vibrant Syrah.
