In order to make you discover our production, we seek to showcase our wines in various markets and fairs in Ampuis, Tain-l'Hermitage, Saint-Peray, but also in Paris (Saint Cloud and Péniche at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. ), or Welkenraedt in Belgium.

BACKGROUND

The Rosiers estate was officially created in 1976 by André Drevon during the first full bottling and direct sale of a wine from a harvest, until then sold to certain local merchants.

In 1980, Louis Drevon, devoted to the service of this very old vineyard suspended in the Rhône valley, joined forces with his father to found Gaec de Syrah. Together, they manage more than 7 hectares of vines.

A few years later, Louis Drevon took over the entire estate, thus the Domaine de Rosiers was born, a name replacing Gaec de Syrah, referring to the place called Rozier where a large part of it is located. of the estate's vines.

In 2013, Maxime Gourdain took over from his uncle Louis Drevon in the exploitation of the Rosiers estate.

As a passionate connoisseur, Maxime Gourdain is committed to working his vineyard scrupulously. He develops new plantations, clears hillsides with restoration of the walls, and the construction of new vats, in order to improve the quality of his wines.

Thanks to this work, our wine is today rewarded and has a controlled label of origin.

This is how the idea was born of orienting production towards the development of direct bottled sales, while respecting the tradition of producing local wines.

Based in Ampuis near Vienne in the Rhône department, the Domaine de Rosiers is a family wine property, consisting of various grape varieties (Syrah and Viognier) and producing red and white wines with AOC.

The estate cultivates vines that are on average 35 years old on predominantly granite soils giving delicate and fragrant wines, sometimes slate providing tannins and significant aging potential, sometimes sandy clay making the wine complex and rich in minerals.

Our exploitation has been managed since 2013 by Maxime Gourdain and consists of 8.5 hectares of vines, spread over twenty plots in the municipalities of Condrieu, Ampuis, Saint-Michel sur Rhône, Saint-Cyr-sur- le-Rhône and Tupin-et-Semons near Vienne in the Rhône department.

These diversified terroirs are the signature of the unique character of each of the wines of the Controlled Designation of Origin Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie.

These two appellations stand out for the atypical character of their landscapes with certain steep slopes that can exceed 60% of slopes. The exposure of the vines is generally south / south-east.
