Pierre and Jean Gonon
Domaine Pierre et Jean Gonon, located in the Saint-Joseph appellation in the north of the Rhône Valley, is a benchmark in its field. Founded in the 1950s by Pierre Gonon, the estate is now run by his sons, Jean and Pierre, who carry on the family tradition with passion. The Gonon brothers cultivate around 10 hectares of vines according to the rigorous principles of organic farming, also incorporating biodynamic practices to enhance soil vitality and plant health. On the steep slopes of Saint-Joseph, work is mostly manual, avoiding the use of heavy machinery to preserve the structure and richness of the soil. The Gonons' winemaking methods are traditional and low-interventionist. Fermentation takes place in whole bunches, a technique that preserves the purity and typicity of the grapes. Aging takes place in used oak barrels, bringing complexity and balance to the wines without overpowering their natural character. The domaine produces mainly red and white wines under the Saint-Joseph appellation. The red wines, made from Syrah grapes, are particularly appreciated for their aromatic complexity, combining notes of black fruit, spices and violets. Their structure is both full-bodied and well-balanced, offering excellent ageing potential. The white wines, meanwhile, are distinguished by their finesse and elegance, with aromas that are delicate and full-bodied. Each plot of the Gonon estate contributes uniquely to the final blend, adding depth and richness to the wines. This parcel-based approach allows for the full expression of the diversity and typicity of the Saint-Joseph terroirs. Domaine Pierre et Jean Gonon is renowned for combining tradition, respect for the terroir, and excellence.
