Guillaume Gonnet Vigneron is a family-owned Southern Rhône producer rooted in the Gonnet family lineage from founder Etienne Gonnet to today’s generation of Guillaume and Bertrand Gonnet, with Guillaume and his Australian wife Kelly also owning vineyard parcels. Based in the Rhône Valley, the estate has been certified organic since 2013 and follows largely biodynamic farming. Guillaume, a third-generation winemaker with experience in Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa, New Zealand and Australia, leads a hands-off, low-intervention approach focused on expressing terroir. Fermentation and élevage favor minimal oak influence, giving wines noted for typicity, softness, elegance and finesse across appellations including Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Lirac, Cairanne, Rasteau, Tavel, Vacqueyras and Côtes du Rhône.
