Domaine CLUSEL-ROCH

Domaine Clusel-Roch (pronounced Cluzel-Roke) started asDomaine Clusel, founded by the René Clusel, who began bottling his wine in 1969. At the time, René Clusel had but 1 hectare of vineyard along with many hectares of apricot trees.

Today the property remains tiny: Just 3.5 hectares in Côte Rôtie and 1/2 hectare in Condrieu.

The élevage lasts two years for the Côte Rôtie, and one year for the Condrieu. The Côte Rôtie is racked four or five times during this time.

Annual production at Domaine Clusel-Roch is about 15,000 bottles a year.
