Description

The 2007 Villard Côte-Rôtie Le Gallet Blanc is a wine from François Villard, a respected producer in the Northern Rhône known for crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines. Le Gallet Blanc is a tribute to the region’s schist-rich soils and typically showcases the elegance and complexity of Côte-Rôtie.

Vintage Overview
2007 Rhône Vintage: A warm and consistent growing season produced ripe, approachable wines with rich fruit, velvety tannins, and balanced acidity. Côte-Rôtie wines from this vintage often display a combination of opulence and freshness, making them appealing both in their youth and with age.
Tasting Profile of 2007 Villard Le Gallet Blanc
Appearance: Deep ruby with purple tinges, likely transitioning to garnet hues as it matures.
Aromas: An expressive and layered bouquet of blackberries, ripe cherries, and plums, combined with hallmark Côte-Rôtie savory notes of smoked meat, black olive, and cracked black pepper. Subtle floral notes of violet and secondary aromas of leather, tobacco, and earthy minerality may now be emerging.
Palate: Full-bodied yet elegant, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavors of dark fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), licorice, and spices dominate, supported by a mineral-driven core. The wine’s long, balanced finish reflects the refinement of the vintage and terroir.
Aging Potential: By 2025, this wine is likely at its peak, displaying well-integrated fruit, tannins, and secondary notes. It should continue to drink well for a few more years if stored properly.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Meat Pairings: Roast lamb with rosemary, grilled duck breast with a red wine reduction, or venison with a juniper berry sauce.
Vegetarian Pairings: Wild mushroom risotto, ratatouille, or lentils with roasted root vegetables and herbs.
Cheese Pairing: Aged hard cheeses like Comté or earthy cheeses like Tomme de Savoie.
Decanting: Decant for 1–2 hours to fully awaken the wine’s complex aromatics and soften any remaining tannins.
François Villard’s Le Gallet Blanc from 2007 is an excellent representation of Côte-Rôtie’s combination of power and finesse. Perfect for savoring alongside an elegant meal or simply as a contemplative glass.
