Presentation
Since his graduation from wine school, Marc Rouvière has been looking for a domain to take over. With his wife, Dominique, they looked at the Beaujolais region but opportunities were rare. When Marc's uncle took them to the Chavanay wine market, they fell in love with the area and heard about a property on sale. Renovation of the old building, of the vineyards and the winery on the steep hillsides of Condrieu: the family estate was born in 1985. Marc later learned that the name "Rouvière" means "a place covered with oak trees"!
In 2012, their children, Anaïs and Julien joined the family business. The estate has been certified "High Environmental Value" since 2020.
