DOMAINE VALLOT RHONE, FRANCE

With their founding five generations ago, Domaine Vallot is one of the oldest domaines in the Côtes du Rhône. Their modern business was created by François Vallot, who is a fourth-generation vigneron. With an exceptional natural climate and a strong passion for quality, François Vallot was an early adopter of the organic and biodynamic movements in the southern Rhône. He began working in organics in the early 1990s and his vineyards gained official certification in 2003. Now, as the fifth generation at the helm of the property, François’s daughter, Anaïs Vallot, brings a fresh vision to her work at Domaine Vallot. The resulting wines of Domaine Vallot are a refreshing example of what can be done with exceptional southern Rhône terroir with the thoughtful intention and approach. Anaïs leads us into the future of the Vinsobres region, and we can’t wait.
