The wine's name "Pierre" comes from his own name and that of his son.
Pierre Gaillard aspired to be a winemaker and joined Vidal Fleury in 1981.
In 1982, the Turck vineyard, said to be the revival vineyard of Côte Rotie, was cleared and the vines were replanted.
At the same time, he purchased the Clos de Cuminaille vineyards in 1981 and the Cote Rotie Rogier vineyards in 1982, and founded his own domaine.
In 1986 Vidal Fleury was acquired by Guigal and Gaillard left the company that same year after completing the fermentations at Turck to focus on the Domaine.
It is a pioneer of the new generation of Rhone domaines, having received high praise upon its first release in 1985.
We have large vineyards that we can keep an eye on and a brewery equipped with modern facilities.
We practice the lutte raisonnée method and aim to produce wines that combine the concentrated fruitiness typical of the Rhone region with the delicate and elegant flavors of Burgundy from a good year.
