Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Chateau-Grillet AOC"

The AOC area defined as a cru is located as an enclave in the Condrieu area in the northern section of the Rhône. It was classified back in 1936 and is one of the smallest appellations in France with just 3.5 hectares of vines. From 1820 onwards, it was the sole property of the Neyret-Gachet family and their descendants for 180 years. However, the wine estate of the same name is spelt Château Grillet (without a hyphen). After the death of her father André Canet, it has been run by Isabelle Baratin-Canet since 1994. This is the only case where an entire appellation is in sole ownership and where the name of the winery is (almost) identical to the AOC designation. The property was finally purchased in March 2011 by the French industrial magnate François Pinault (*1936), who also owns Château Latour, among others.
