Pierre Gaillard aspired to be a winemaker and joined Vidal Fleury in 1981. In 1982, he cultivated the Turck vineyard, which is said to be the vineyard that revived Cote Rotie, and replanted the vines. At the same time, he purchased the Clos de Cuminaille vineyard in 1981 and the Cote Rotie Rogier vineyard in 1982, and established the Domaine. In 1986, Vidal Fleury was acquired by Guigal, and Gaillard left the company that year after finishing the fermentation of Turck, and devoted himself to the Domaine. He is a pioneer of the new generation of Rhone Domaines, which received high praise upon its first release in 1985. They own spacious vineyards and a winery equipped with modern facilities. They practice the lutte raisonnée method and aim to produce wines that combine the concentrated fruitiness of the Rhone region with the delicate and elegant flavor of Burgundy in a good vintage.
