Domaine Mathilde et Yves Gangloff

Overall production in 2008 was down 50% "because of the severe and painful selection I had to do," Yves Gangloff told me. "The red wines will be ready to drink when they come out and I wouldn't risk holding them for very long." There will only be one Cote-Rotie bottling here from that vintage, by the way. Gangloff calls 2007 "a classic vintage for Cote-Rotie. The wines are drinkable now and show all the qualities you're supposed to get: fruit, spice, flowers and everything in balance." Gangloff has a new 2.5-hectare vineyard in Saint-Joseph and the first release will be the 2007. Right now there's a hectare of syrah and half a hectare of marsanne, and he's in the process of planting the remaining land to marsanne rather than syrah "despite the fact that red Saint-Joseph is much easier to sell than white," because he loves great marsanne. "When it's great, it's my favorite wine of the Rhone, and white Hermitage can be my favorite wine in the world, so I want to see what I can do with it. It's been a dream of mine for a long time."
