Since the later 1980s, Jean-Paul and Jean-Luc had run their fathers’ domain with impeccable care and steadfastly traditional values. After joint winemaking in the eighties, there developed a sensible division of labour. Jean-Luc focussed on the vineyards, and Jean-Paul focussed on the winemaking. The domain is now split. Physically a wall runs down the middle of the estate and one winery is on one side, one on the other. The vineyards have been shared. Jean-Paul keeps the Cote Brune jewel, but, 4 hectares have been hewn from the original seven and both brothers have augmented to keep production of the two different estates relatively similar. Jean-Luc’s 5 hectare Cote-Rotie holdings are: - Côte Bodin: 0,2 ha, Bonnivières: 0,6 ha, Chavaroche: 0,7 ha, Lancement: 0,75 ha, La Landonne: 0,17 ha, Mornachon: 0,86 ha, Les Moutonnes: 0,43 ha, Les Rochins: 0,3 ha, Tartaras: 0,13 ha In addition to those prime northern vineyard sites, he also holds 2 hectares of CDR and IGP, mostly from the plateau around the winery, Vallin and Bonniviere, the area where the domaines’ popular VDP and IGP wines were sourced.
