A historic estate in Ampuis and a star of the RVF Guide, Vignobles Levet represents the Rhône Valley at its finest. With an invaluable heritage of just 5 hectares of vineyards spread across the most renowned sectors of Côte-Rôtie, this esteemed domain crafts authentic, terroir-driven cuvées beloved by enthusiasts. Their philosophy focuses on blending terroirs to achieve finesse and complexity, moving beyond the purely single-parcel approach.

The result is wines of striking character, perfectly showcasing the vibrant flavours and graphite minerality of the soils. These reds, built for ageing, undergo long macerations and are matured for two years with minimal new oak. More recently, the estate has added a Condrieu to its portfolio, delivering equal charm and quality.

With a timeless, classical style and exceptional consistency, Vignobles Levet continues to delight wine lovers and grace the finest tables.
