Dom Lionnet

Ludovic Izerable, a refugee from the Haute Savoie city of Grenoble, married Corinne Lionnet whose family has been growing grapes in the village of Cornas since 1575 (that’s correct … no typo … almost five centuries ago). Corinne took control of the domaine in 2003 when her father, Pierre, retired and she and Ludovic now run the show. The domaine is quite small, only 2.2 hectares at the moment (additional vineyards will be added to the domaine shortly, enabling the Domaine Lionnet to also produce a Saint Joseph). The vineyards are organically farmed and are certified as such by Ecocert. --RWM
