History
The wine estate was taken over in 1990 by the brothers Patrick and Christophe BONNEFOND.
In the past the Côte Rôties of the Bonnefond brothers have shown more kinship to those of the Côte Brune, with plenty of concentration and no hurry to drink. But over the last decade (2010-19), the style has softened a bit, and the wines are approachable earlier.
There are three cuvées: Colline de Couzou, Côte Rozier, and Les Rochains. The Colline de Cozou is the most charming and approachable when young, while the others come from the Côte Brune side and shows much bigger wines in style.
Domaine Bonnefond produces a small amount of Condrieu as well.
The Domaine also produces two excellent but simpler wines at more modest prices: Syrah grown just outside the appellation of Côte Rôtie, and Viognier grown outside Condrieu.
