THE MARION CHIROUZE ESTATE
A story of roots and passion
The history of our estate began in the 1950s, on the left bank of the Rhône in La Roche-de-Glun. Here my grandfather, Raoul Chirouze, founded the farm, initially dedicated to fruit growing.
In 1989, my parents, Philippe and Claudine, took over the estate. Driven by a desire to diversify the business, they introduced viticulture to the farm.
I grew up by their sideI grew up by their side, among the orchards and the vines, where I developed a deep love for the land and a passion for winemaking.
2021: The Birth of the Estate
After years of learning and passing on knowledge, I produced my first vintage in 2021. By creating Domaine Marion Chirouze, I set up to continue this family adventure with a strong commitment: that of respectful and authentic viticulture.
Our philosophy: Respect for life
Today, we cultivate our vines using organic farming methods. For us, wine is not manufactured, it is cultivated.
-
A unique terroir: Our plots rest on soils of rolled pebbles, remnants of the Rhône's movements. These stones capture the sun's heat during the day and release it to the vines at night, promoting optimal grape ripening.
-
Biodiversity at the heart: We take care to preserve the natural balance of our soils so that each vintage (Angélique, Apaisante, Audacieuse) expresses the richness and character of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation.
-
Polyculture as a strength: True to our roots, we continue artisanal production of fruit juices, nectars and jams from our apple, apricot and peach orchards.
