Domaine Xavier Gérard - Côte-Rôtie 2020
Domaine Xavier Gérard is located in Condrieu, in the north of the Rhône valley. It was founded in 1981 by François Gérard, the father of Xavier Gérard, trained at Vidal-Fleury and at Domaine de Bonserine. In 2004, Xavier Gérard joined the family estate and trained at the same time in other fields in Burgundy and abroad. He took over the management of the estate in 2013 and produces wines in several appellations: Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu. Xavier is directing his viticulture towards organic farming with a view to certification in the coming years. In the cellar, he favors the use of whole bunches, natural fermentations and minimal handling during the aging of the wines.
