2023 · La Germine Côte-Rôtie

Benjamin and David Duclaux run this family-owned Northern Rhône estate in Tupin-et-Semons, inherited from their father Edmond and founded in 1928. The brothers oversee winemaking from 5.8 hectares of steep, gneiss-soil vineyards, worked entirely by hand and harvested manually. The domaine focuses on Syrah, with a small portion of Viognier, producing four Côte-Rôtie reds and one Condrieu white. Its limited production and hands-on approach reflect a focused artisanal estate; no formal sustainability certification is reported.
