The estate
The Gérin family embodies the history and winemaking expertise of Côte-Rôtie for six generations. Located in the village of Ampuis, in the heart of this prestigious Rhône appellation, the estate’s modern story begins in 1983 with the acquisition of a first parcel. Jean-Michel Gérin then took over the family estate in 1987.
Innovation and ambition have shaped the estate’s development: separate vinification of emblematic lieux-dits 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 facility was inaugurated, followed in 2018 by the separate vinification of the lieu-dit “Côte-Bodin”. In 2020, an environmental shift began with conversion to organic farming, certified since the 2023 vintage. Today, Michaël and Alexis Gérin carry on this tradition of excellence across an estate of nearly 20 hectares.
