The Duvernay family trace their business back as far as 1904 and over the years have become one of the most reliable and well-known in the Rhône, supplying the best part of the base wine for the Côtes-du-Rhônes of many famous producers, including Etienne Guigal.
Based at Châteauneuf-du-Pape with his father Roland, Romain Duvernay decided that the quality of fruit he was sourcing was so good that he would rather keep the best parcels and produce wine under his own label. In 1998, Romain Duvernay was created.
Under this brand name, Romain Duvernay and Jean-Marc Pottiez, creator and producer of major brands of champagne and brandy, have worked to develop several partnerships between domains of the South and the North of the Rhone Valley and their company NewRhône Millésimes, with the aim of finding the most beautiful expressions of the terroirs and grape varieties of the region rich in diversity.
