A self-taught winegrower with just one hectare of vineyard plots scattered around Saint-Joseph: this is how Louis Ch\u00e8ze got started in 1978. He has built his wine domaine in his own way, combining the energy of perseverance with the art of reappraising himself with each vintage. The man who used to say he made wine “on the fly<\/em>” in his early days has become a master winemaker whose characteristic stamp is highly respected. But he has always kept his eye on the goal: to remain straightforward and accessible. His children have followed in his footsteps, taking charge of the domaine while Louis takes a step back. Beno\u00eet concentrates on managing the vineyards, Camille on administration and sales. Soon, both will be making the wine. Values, patience and passion have already been passed on. “But we’re giving ourselves time to effect the handover. It would have been a mistake to do it too quickly. We have three points of view, so we always have to listen and talk to each other<\/em>.\u201d The family spirit is cultivated with the same care as the vines… This is how the wines\u2019 hallmark character is perpetuated.<\/p>\n 16 ha AOP SAINT JOSEPH RED<\/strong>: Syrah grape variety. 6 ha AOP SAINT JOSEPH WHITE<\/strong>: Roussanne and Marsanne grape varieties. 5 ha AOP CONDRIEU<\/strong>, Viognier grape variety. 1 ha AOP C\u00d4TE-R\u00d4TIE: <\/strong>Syrah grape variety. <\/strong>14 ha IGP, Syrah, Marsanne and Viognier grape varieties. \u2022 SOILS: Limony granite slopes.<\/p>\n REDS<\/strong>: harvested by hand and transported in small crates, first sorting on a sorting table, destemming, followed by a second sorting of the grape berries on a vibrating sorting table and then vatted by gravity.
