Notes on the Producer
Our history begins in 1929 when my grand father decides to bottle and trade under the signature Pierre Amadieu his wine coming from the 7 hectares (17 acres) of vineyard in Gigondas passed on by generation to generation. He is then one of the firsts to print the name of the appellation on his bottles and obtains from 1932 a golden medal in the National Agricultural Concours of Paris.
I am presently at the head of the company, working with my uncle and my three cousins. I am in charge of the winemaking with my cousin Jean-Marie. My uncle Claude runs the vineyard. My cousin Henri-Claude manages the sales, and his sister, Marie is in charge of private customers and the cellar door. Together, we pursue the long-established family tradition of respect for the soil in order to produce wines that reflect and embody our unique terroir. Our aim is to offer you wines that are faithful to my grandfather’s quality standards, but with a note of modernity to delight the most discerning of palates.
I am not a follower of over-extracted wines and often "heavy" to taste ; my ambition is rather to obtain well-balanced wines with a Burgundy fineness. Through the maturing I try to reveal all the elegance and the richness of our protected terroirs located on the heights of the appellation Gigondas. From vines to the bottling patience and observation are required. Today appreciated all over the world, every vintage reserves its subtleties which I am happy to subject to your appreciation.
Pierre Amadieu
