Gentaz-Dervieux Cote Brune 1982 -2.5cm
The 1982 Gentaz-Dervieux Côte Brune is a red Côte-Rôtie wine from the Rhône Valley, produced by Domaine Gentaz-Dervieux. This cuvée is made from 100% Syrah and takes its name from Côte Brune, an emblematic sector of the appellation. The estate, managed by Marius Gentaz, ceased operations in 1993; its vineyards were subsequently taken over by René Rostaing. This vintage thus belongs to the final decades of production of this historic Côte-Rôtie estate.

Histoire du domaine
Marius Gentaz began working the family vineyards with his father in 1952, on an area then recorded as 1.52 hectares. By the end of his career, he was cultivating around 1.2 hectares of old Côte-Rôtie vines, spread across three plots at La Landonne, Côte Brune and La Viallière. The estate’s production was limited, estimated at 600 to 800 cases per year. The wines were matured in old barrels, then bottled by hand. Marius Gentaz retired in 1993, the year of his final vintage. The plots were then taken over as part of the family succession by René Rostaing, a relative by marriage of Marius Gentaz and son-in-law of Albert Dervieux. They now form part of the Rostaing estate; Gentaz-Dervieux therefore no longer exists as an independent producer.
