It sits on the top of the hill in the commune of Chavanay, just beside the Madone d’Izeras, in the heart of the Saint-Joseph and Condrieu vineyards, on the right bank of the Rhône River, 50 km south of Lyon.Philippe, the youngest of 7 children, fell in love with these gnarled vines and took over the domaine in 1988, at the age of just 19.At the time, the land was used for mixed farming, with cereals, fruit, vines, cows and goats. But Philippe wanted to devote himself entirely to winegrowing and started his activity with his father Jean’s 2.5 hectares of Saint-Joseph.He replanted a few plots, including his first Condrieu under La Madone, stopped sending the grapes to the cooperative winery and produced his first vintage in 1988 in the winery he had set up.The once tiny wine domaine has since grown to 16.5 hectares. Maxime, Philippe’s son, joined the domaine in 2016 after obtaining work experience in Alsace, Burgundy, Canada and South Africa. Deeply attached to his terroir, Maxime brings with him a desire to experiment with methods he learned during his time abroad.The domaine has been certified organic since 2013 and biodynamic (Demeter) since 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection data-liuqs-content=\"verified-context\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"site-brand-context\"\u003eListed by \u003cstrong\u003eFlowers by Richard NYC | Same Day Flower Delivery NYC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"site-context-note\"\u003eFree Shipping on All Orders · New Store Launch Deals End in 30 Days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"verified-product-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e My Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTags:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42987288494165,"sku":"cs_7563","price":3.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/9630\/0117\/files\/gputxra5mw67_cad40e0c-596c-4fc0-a182-b8ddffccfbc6.jpg?v=1789272882","url":"https:\/\/willowcreekspirits.com\/products\/domaineverzier-stjoseph-granit-blanc-2023-h8vlg0","provider":"Willow Creekspirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
