Founded in 1989, Domaine Merlin is a family-run estate in the Northern Rhône Valley, rooted on steep slopes overlooking the Rhône River.
The vineyards in Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie and Saint-Joseph are worked entirely by hand, with limited inputs and, on certain parcels, sheep grazing to preserve living soils.
All wines are produced exclusively from estate-grown grapes and vinified with precision, seeking freshness, balance, and a pure expression of terroir through minimal intervention.
Now led by second-generation vigneron Laurent Merlin, the estate remains human-scale and continues to evolve on some of the region’s most demanding sites.
An artisanal and committed approach, guided by respect for nature and the pursuit of sincere, authentic wines.
