🍷 Domaine Christian Rouchier: A Radical Artisan of Saint-Joseph
Located in Saint-Jean-de-Muzols, in the northern part of the Saint-Joseph appellation (Rhône Valley), Christian Rouchier farms about 2.7 hectares of steep hillside vineyards. Formerly a mixed farmer, he bought his first vines in 2007 and began bottling his entire micro-production in 2013. The estate is certified organic and inspired by agroforestry: hedges and trees are replanted among the vines, which are worked with a horse.
