Domaine de Bonserine

The Domaine de Bonserine is located in Ampuis and comprises a vineyard of 9 hectares of Côte-Rôtie vines and 1 hectare of Condrieu vines in the prestigious locales of Côte-Blonde, Côte-Brune, Les Moutonnes, La Viallière, Leyat, Le Champin, Fondjean, and Planèze for Côte-Rôtie; and Les Eyguets and La Grande for Condrieu. The Domaine de Bonserine vineyard consists mainly of old Syrah vines known as “Serine,” which are very ancient Syrah varieties that produce small, loose clusters with a unique aromatic profile.

The vineyards at Domaine de Bonserine are managed sustainably, using composted manure and plowing the soil in the spring to encourage deep root growth. Controlled grass cover in the vineyards and green harvesting help limit the crop yield to 4 to 6 bunches per vine. The winemaking process aims to express and reveal the potential of each terroir. Each plot is vinified separately without the addition of yeast, using its own indigenous yeasts. The wines are then aged for 22 to 36 months, depending on the specific characteristics of each vintage.
