2ha. 70-300m above sea level. It is said that Condrieu was first started from this vineyard. Aged for 12 months in old barrels. Jean-Michel has used his own name as the domaine since 1987, and his reputation and popularity have skyrocketed since the mid-1990s, and he is now one of the leading producers in Côte Rotie. He says that "grape cultivation is the most important element in wine production," and cultivates grapes in conditions as close to nature as possible, while keeping the yield (24-30hl/ha) low, selecting and brewing fully ripe and healthy grapes. From 2020, he has started a new challenge by cultivating grapes using organic methods. Aged for 12-24 months in 30-100% new barrels. Red is 100% Syrah (with some 5-10% Viognier mixed in).
The white wine is 100% Viognier. Now, with the participation of his two sons, this is a producer that maintains its traditions while also being expected to undergo further transformation.
