A 10-hectare estate located in the hamlet of Rozier on the heights of Ampuis, 3 kilometres from the village centre. We have been producing Côte-Rôtie wines since 1991 and Condrieu since 2011. In 2006, we decided to cross the river and plant a Syrah plot in the Vienne municipality in Isère. Thus, the cuvée ‘La Bâtie’ was born, a local wine from the Rhône hillsides, with the first bottles produced for the 2009 vintage. A limited cuvée of 1,500 bottles per year, this elegant red wine will win you over while young.
In 2018, we started planting a slope with Syrah in Chasse-sur-Rhône, and we will produce the first bottles in the vintage 2022.
