The structure and richness of a Saint-Joseph wine

The estate

The Gérin family embodies the history and viticultural know-how of the Côte-Rôtie for six generations. Located in the village of Ampuis, at the heart of this prestigious Rhone appellation, the modern history of the estate begins in 1983 with the acquisition of a first plot. Jean-Michel Gérin then took over the family business in 1987.

Innovation and ambition drive the development of the estate: separate vinification of emblematic places such as "Les Grandes Places" (1988), "La Landonne" (1996), and "La Viallière" (planted in 2003, first vintage in 2009). In 2014, a new modern winemaking site is inaugurated, followed in 2018 by the separate vinification of the place called "Côte-Bodin". In 2020, an environmental turn is initiated with the conversion to organic farming, certified since the 2023 vintage. Today, Michaël and Alexis Gérin perpetuate this tradition of excellence on an estate of nearly 20 hectares.
