The domaine produces wines from 27 acres of vineyards in some of the most famous Côte-Rôtie areas, as well as a Côtes du Rhône (Le Temps est Venu) and several Syrah wines (L’Ame Soeur, La Rosine). Today, the wines have become a reference point for the appellation and are sought after by the greatest chefs and most serious wine lovers around the world.
