Domaine Gallety La Ligure Côtes du Vivarais red wine 2017

The domain

Domaine Gallety has become a must of the young appellation Côtes du Vivarais. Located in Ardèche, Gallety is one of the popular properties in the Rhône Valley.

THE FAMILY HISTORY OF THE GALLETY WINE ESTATE
The Gallety wine estate was created in 1974 in the municipality of Saint-Montan, initially it was a property of 80 hectares of vines but not that, the garrigue, the forest and the fruit trees were also an integral part of the estate. In 1999, the Gallety area was declared part of the Côtes du Vivarais appellation, which encouraged Alain Gallety and his son David-Alexandre to continue their winemaking adventure. A modern winery is then built on the heights of the estate to produce high quality Gallety wine.

A SELECTION OF CEPAGES AT THE SERVICE OF UNIQUE GALLETY CREATIONS
Proud of its clay-limestone soil, Alain Gallety decided to base his philosophy on organic farming and to carefully select the grape varieties used in the blends of his cuvées. This allows him to create unique products that reflect this great terroir. Syrah and Grenache Blanc as well as Marsanne and Roussanne became the spearheads of Gallety wines. The 15 hectares of the estate are closely followed by the Gallety family, from manual harvesting to vinification and bottling.

GALLETY SYRARE LIGURE AND HAUTE VIGNE
Domaine Gallety offers several cuvées, in order to adapt to every moment of consumption. The Cuvée Haute Vigne is made from young vines of Grenache and Syrah for an instant pleasure, to enjoy in its youth. The Gallety cuvée in red and white is expressive, of a beautiful drinkability and beautiful length. It enjoys a breeding in oak barrels for the reds, in vat for whites. Finally, from old vines, the parcellar cuvées La Syrare and La Ligure are part of the elite of the Rhône Valley. Low yields and longer farms offer a very nice complexity and finesse.
