A prized Saint Joseph Grower
Having grown up in vineyards, Pierre Gaillard's passion for winemaking developed at just 12 years old. He went on to study oenology at Montpelier and then went to work in Côte Rôtie where he embraced the wines and the northern Rhône Valley, which lead to his first purchase in 1981. This was of the historical vineyard, Clos de Cuminaille, which is situated on some of the steepest slopes in the region. Today, Pierre has dedicated 20 out of 25 hectares to growing Syrah grapes and is considered one of the top growers in Saint Joseph. When he’s not tending to his vines in Saint Joseph, Pierre can be found in his family’s vineyards in Faugères and Banyuls.
