Domaine de Rosiers

The estate is in Ampuis, in Côte-Rôtie, and has been in the same family for three generations. In 2013 Maxime Gourdain took over from his grandfather André Drevon and his uncle Louis Drevon. The Drevon name is still on the label: it is not a tribute to former owners, it is his own house.

A little over eight hectares, spread across the lieux-dits of Ampuis: Marsanne, Fongeant, Côte-Bodin, Côte-Rozier, Rozier and Besset. Eight hectares in six separate places gives a sense of how Côte-Rôtie works, where the vineyard is held up on narrow terraces over very steep slopes.

New wines appeared with Maxime in charge: the first Condrieu is from the 2014 vintage and the first IGP Collines Rhodaniennes from 2016.

The estate gained HVE certification in 2020 and began conversion to organic in 2021.
