The Gerins consider the vine to be part of the family and they dedicate a lot of time to it… in order not to spend too much time in the winery afterwards. This credo has become a deep-held conviction: “The terroir creates everything” <\/em>and, above all, the fantastic wines that originate from these spectacular “lieux-dits”<\/em>. Jean-Michel has put his name on one of them, and he has also put Ampuis on the world wine map. His sons Micha\u00ebl and Alexis – the 6th generation to cultivate the vines on these hillsides – work alongside him with the same passion they had as children, the same keen eye and the same attention to detail. Because although the terroir is all important, nothing can be achieved without a great deal of hard work. “You can’t do this job saying ‘I’m going to do what Dad did”<\/em>. It’s a long-term process. We’re constantly evolving. Our parents’ generation rebuilt the AOC and our generation has to build on that and keep moving forward”. This mindset is demonstrated by the domaine’s conversion to organic growing, obtaining certification in 2023. “It’s a natural step and one that’s producing surprising results. The vines are enjoying the benefit and they will reward us.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n AOC C\u00d4TE R\u00d4TIE<\/strong>: 13.5 ha, planting density 10,000 vines\/ha in micaschist; 9.5 ha for the “Champin le Seigneur<\/em>” wine; 1.3 ha in the “Les Grandes-Places<\/em>” lieu-dit; 0.4 ha in the “La Landonne<\/em>” lieu-dit; 1.8 ha in the “La Vialli\u00e8re<\/em>” lieu-dit; 0.7 ha in the “C\u00f4te-Bodin<\/em>” lieu-dit.
