Bonserine, a Northern Rhône Valley gem, masterfully produces deeply moving wines within its appellations. With a rich legacy of ancient vines and sophisticated aging processes, this estate seamlessly blends robustness with delicacy, presenting a nuanced wine portfolio.

Nestled among Côte Rôtie's most esteemed plots – Côte Blonde, Côte Brune, Moutonne, and Sarrasine – the vineyard thrives on Ampuis' age-old hillside terroirs, home to the local "serine" syrah strain.
