Founded in 1928, the estate was bought by the great grandfather but has mainly been developed by the father, Edmond Duclaux.
Today David and Benjamin work manually their 5.8 hectares of vines on the narrow terraces of the Tupin and Semons hillsides. They want their Côte-Rôtie to reflect the southern ‘terroirs’ of the Côte-Rôtie appellation expressing the finesse and the balance of the gneiss soils.
The walls on which the vines are planted were, for some, built during the Roman period. Today, they continue to restore this heritage and cultivate their vines on these narrow terraces. In a way, history is perpetuated.
