Domaine Clusel Roch

Gilbert Clusel and his wife Brigitte Roch own this small estate in the northern Rhône. Their son Guillaume joined the domaine in 2009 and is now running the estate. He has significantly increased the vineyard area, mainly by planting Gamay and Chardonnay in Millery, Coteaux du Lyonnais. Today the property is about eight hectares, including five hectares in Côte Rôtie and just half in Condrieu. Fully certified organic since 2002, most work in the vineyards is done manually, without the use of any chemical fertilisers. Highly regarded in Côte-Rôtie, the estate produces Syrah with an intense purity of red and black fruit with harmonious integration of spice.
