The excellence of a great white terroir from the Rhône

The estate
A true institution of the Rhône Valley, Domaine Coursodon is a historic family estate located in Mauves, the birthplace of the Saint-Joseph appellation. Since the late 19th century, five generations of passionate winemakers have succeeded one another, elevating the estate among the region's most essential references. Now led by Jérôme Coursodon, the estate carries on a tradition of excellence, combining respect for heritage with precision viticulture to create wines of remarkable purity.

The vineyard
Domaine Coursodon's vineyard extends across exceptional terroirs with steep slopes that make mechanisation impossible. The vines dedicated to the "Le Paradis Saint Pierre" cuvée thrive on particularly high-quality granite soils. This unique terroir, bathed in the Rhône sunshine, gives the grapes optimal ripeness while preserving a lovely mineral tension.

The vintage
The year 2023 offered ideal climatic conditions in the region, allowing the white grape varieties to achieve a perfect balance between aromatic richness and vibrant freshness.
