A peasant lineage turned into exceptional crus


The Clusel family, winemakers in Ampuis since the 1930s, saw Baptiste plant syrahs in 1935 (the famous "Grandes Places"). René bottled the first wines in 1969, but it was Gilbert (partnered with Brigitte Roch) who, starting in 1989, structured the estate, re-developed the old vines, introduced massal selection from 1991, and adopted organic farming then biodynamics in 2002 . Since 2009, their son Guillaume, supported by Gaëlle, has infused modernity and terroir into 6.5 ha (including 3.5 ha in Côte-Rôtie and 0.5 ha in Condrieu) .



A granitic terroir extracted by hand


The steep vineyards of Côte-Rôtie are cradled on schist and mica, a hostile environment where mechanization is impossible. The main lieux-dits – Les Grandes Places (0.7 ha, planted in 1935), La Viallière (1.3 ha), Champon – bear syrahs planted en masse from old selections . Biodynamics guide the plowing, gentle treatments, and natural practices.



Sober aging and vinification to reveal the terroir


The wine is partially destemmed, ferments in open vats with control, and ages ~24 months in barrels (10–30% new wood depending on the cuvées). The white wines (Condrieu) combine stainless steel and barrels, without filtration, free oenologist .



Signature style: mineral power & silky elegance


The schist syrahs are sculpted, with precise density, black fruits, pepper, floral notes, refreshing tension, and an aging potential of 8-18 years . The 2018, in particular, is praised for its "prettiness," lavender, pepper, saline tension, and remarkable tannic structure ().



Parcel-based & flagship cuvées





  • Les Grandes Places: ancestral monopoly, the most square, concentration and verticality




  • La Viallière: ripe fruit, elegant structure, cuvée since 2009




  • Les Schistes: flagship blend, syrah+viognier, 1,500 cases/year, controlled oak




  • Champon: intermediate terroir, balance and texture




  • Condrieu: alliance of viognier and granitic terroirs in white
