J. Denuzière

The history of J. Denuzière began in 1876 at the heart of a region with a 2000-year wine heritage.

At that time, Joanny Paret, founder of the winery based in Condrieu had the objective to develop the reputation of the local wines in the Rhône cafés and bistros by distributing them with his team of horses. After doing so for 40 years, his son, Joseph Paret took over and successfully grew the family business over the following decades thanks to his entrepreneurial spirit.

Paret Wines then became Denuzière Wines when Pierre Denuzière, Joseph Paret’s son-in-law, succeeded his father-in-law in the 1940s. For 80 years, the name “Denuzière” has been part of the wine-growing landscape in the Rhône Valley.

Caroline Moro, now Denuzière’s winemaker, joined the winery in 2014. Meticulous and passionate, she describes herself as a “Cartesian”. Yet, she has learned over the years, through her travels in the French and European vineyards to detach herself from her scientific mind and to trust her intuition.

In the cellar she uses her artisanal technique aiming for minimum intervention and always driven by the current vintage. Caroline reveals the beauty of the Northern Rhône Valley by handcrafting wines with freshness and elegance.
