RATINGS BASED ON VALUE close product ratings popup

Beyond including the published ratings from Parker, Spectator, Enthusiast, etc. we believe it's advantageous to include our own ratings for every wine offered. Following a scale similar to the top wine critics' 100 point system, our ratings focus on value (the invino Member price vs. the retail price), and the current state of the wine (what's happening in the bottle now).

So, let's say we have a 91 point Parker rated Napa Cab that retails for $50. And let's say it's been secured for Members at $30. Our rating assumes the $30 price tier. .

Our tasters review wines on the following 100-point scale:
  • 95-100 Classic: a great wine
  • 90-94 Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style
  • 85-89 Very good: a wine with special qualities

REVIEWS

Pierre Gaillard is no slouch, this is one of the great grower's and pioneers of the region. A guy who was a part of the Guigal success story. This 2016 St-Joe comes from an amazing vintage that made some smoking juice.

Literally, this wine has some smoked meat notes and toasted spices mingled with dark chocolate raisins and licorice. It's rich and dark, there are light vegetal notes like like olive tapenade with hints of espresso.  Very smooth structure that glides over the palate with enough weight to stick around on the finish. Killer value. Drink now, enjoy with food or cellar for 6-8 years. 93 points.

Pierre Gaillard is one of the most respected vignerons in the Northern Rhône....(He had worked previously for both Vidal-Fleury and Etienne Guigal before starting out on his own)

Lucky for us, P. Gaillard also produces his own "quintessential" N. Rhône wines!  You will not find a better value from St-Joseph and this is your introduction to Gaillard wines if you are unfamiliar. Know that his is the standard for wines from the region. 

Fun fact: Originally known as Vin de Mauves, mentioned in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, the wine from St.-Joseph was a favourite in the French court of Louis XII (1498–1515) who owned a vineyard in St.-Joseph known as Clos de Tournon.


Things To Know:

• Pierre Gaillard studied Viticulture and Enology in Beaune, and obtained a Graduate Diploma in Winemaking from Montpellier.  He bought his first parcel of land in 1981 which was called Clos de Cuminailles, located in Malleval. It was there in the upper part of the medieval town of Malleval that Gaillard established his business.
• Vintage: "2016 is a roaring success in the Rhône. It follows the excellent 2015 whose release saw an upsurge in interest in this classic French region of diverse expression. Where 2015 produced Northern Rhône Syrahs of remarkable depth and complexity, 2016 has produced what many growers in the South are describing as the vintage of a generation." ~CATHERINE PETRIE MW
• From the north of the appellation, this Saint-Joseph is a blend of wines from vines situated on slopes facing east and southeast.  Most of the grapes come from the estate.  The rest is bought from other growers, however the wine is made and matured at the property.
• Prior to founding his own estate, Pierre Gaillard was experienced in everything to do with Cote Rotie. In fact, he helped plant the first vines used in the famous wine of La Turque for Guigal. This is where Gaillard became a legend as one of the Rhones greatest grape growers. 

TASTING NOTES 

Fruity, fleshy, elegant.  This blend, made from all of the estate’s parcels (as well as some out-sourced grapes), expresses the diversity offered by the terroir.

THE STORY TO KNOW

In 1987, Pierre, with his wife Pascale, created their estate with cellars above the picturesque medieval village of Malleval. The cellars are above ground and made from sustainable material with wood much in evidence. Other vineyards quickly followed in Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie. Pierre's passion other than the vine is local history and he was always fascinated by Roman winemaking and, of course, the nearby city of Lyon had been a centre of wine production. Some of the vines were planted on slopes that were abandoned at the time of phylloxera and with his friends Yves Cuilleron and François Villard he formed the Vins de Vienne partnership to recover this lost heritage. He goes further, producing each year a small amount of wine made in clay amphorae.

In 2002, he created the estate of Madeloc in Banyuls-sur-Mer, followed by the estate of Cottebrune in Faugères in 2007.  Today, Gaillard manages a total of 77 hectares.

The vineyard is located in the northern part of the Rhone Valley, ranging from Cote-Rotie down through to Cornas in the South. Planted on steep slopes, the vines are located on the last foothills of the Massif Central.

 

PERFECT PAIRINGS

Try some of these Rhone classics: Cassoulet, Beef short ribs braised in red wine and herbs, Moroccan lamb barbecue, beef stew or even French onion soup.
