Domaine Barge

Domaine Barge is a family-run winery where Gilles and Alice Barge, along with their son Julien, work today. The Barge family has been making wine in Ampuis since 1860, with successive generations continuing the tradition uninterrupted to this day. Pierre Barge, born in 1840, represents the first generation. He cultivated vines on the hillsides of Ampuis until phylloxera and its ravages forced him to move to Paris to find a livelihood. There he met his wife, and returned to Ampuis in 1900. The vines could be replanted thanks to the discovery of grafting. He then returned to the profession he was passionate about: “Winemaker.”

Beautifully situated, the Domaine Barge vineyard spans 8.3 hectares of vines: 6 hectares of Côte-Rôtie, 1 hectare of Condrieu, and 1.3 hectares of Saint-Joseph.

At Domaine Barge, every effort is made to ensure high-quality work, aided by modern technology. These techniques have become indispensable today for producing high-quality wines that reflect their terroir.
