Château de Rouanne is a historic estate in France’s Rhône Valley, owned by Louis Barruol, also of Château de Saint Cosme, since 2019. Its vineyards were planted between 1950 and 1975, with many vines now over 50 years old. The estate is organically farmed and Ecocert certified. Winemaking is led by Louis Barruol with Laurent Bézert, with Clarisse Borau also noted among the team. The domaine combines traditional viticulture with a modern, sustainability-minded approach.
