Vintage Character The 2021 Domaine Gallety Haute Vigne Rouge from the Côtes du Vivarais appellation exemplifies the vibrancy and finesse of this emerging Rhône terroir.

Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 91 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this blend of Syrah and Grenache, grown on limestone and clay soils, delivers a refined structure and mineral backbone. Aromas of ripe blackberry, violet, and subtle Mediterranean herbs lead into a supple, finely textured palate layered with dark fruit, spice, and a hint of graphite. The finish is long and silky, supported by polished tannins that suggest excellent aging potential. This elegant Rhône blend pairs beautifully with roast duck breast, ratatouille, or aged Comté cheese, offering a harmonious match for its savory complexity.
