Histoire du domaine
The Gonon family comes from a farming background where vineyards once stood alongside fruit orchards. In the mid-20th century, Pierre Gonon, father of Jean and Pierre, gradually rebuilt the family vineyard by purchasing and leasing plots on the slopes of Mauves. Amidst difficult times for local winegrowers in the post-war period, he chose to bottle his own wines. The estate’s first label dates from 1964. His sons, first Pierre and then Jean, joined him on the estate, before taking over the business in the late 1980s. They subsequently expanded the vineyard through acquisitions and replanting, whilst retaining a highly fragmented layout of plots across the communes of Mauves, Tournon-sur-Rhône and Saint-Jean-de-Muzols. The winery was refurbished in the early 2000s. Organic farming has been practised since 2004 and the vineyard has been certified since 2011. Jean and Pierre Gonon continue to jointly manage the estate and oversee the winemaking process.
