Estate History and Heritage

Domaine Pierre Gonon represents the gold standard of traditional, non-interventionist winemaking in Saint-Joseph. Specifically, brothers Pierre and Jean Gonon took charge in 1989, committed to working their vertigo-inducing terraces entirely by hand. Moreover, their meticulous organic farming and low-intervention cellar work have made their bottlings legendary among collectors.

Today, Gonon’s Les Oliviers is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest white wines produced in the entire Rhône Valley. As a result, each vintage offers a profound, unadulterated expression of ancient granite terroir.
