Production Notes Production Notes

The terroir is mostly schist and clay with deposits of iron in the soils. 80% of the grapes are destemmed on average.

The wine made its debut with the 2003 vintage. Domaine Garon les Rochains is aged in about 30% new, French oak barrels for 18 months before bottling.

Producer Producer

Domaine Garon, found in Ampuis in the Northern Rhône, is family operation run by Jean-François and Carmen Garon with their sons Kevin and Fabien. The arrival of the two boys made an immediate and positive impact on the quality of the vines and in some of the methods adopted in the cellars. Since joining, Kevin and Fabien have refurbished the vineyards and rebuilt the cellar while making changes to the winemaking. These modifications include destemming the majority of the grapes and cutting the time in cask from 24 months to 18 while reducing the amount of oak that is new. As a result the fruit expresses itself more clearly and the structure is a touch more supple, without sacrificing the concentration and balance that will allow them to age gracefully. The vineyards, all Syrah, cover 5ha of granite and white and brown schist. Each different terroir leaves its indelible influence on the Côte-Rôtie wines produced.
