Domaine Rostaing-Tayard

My estate is based in a relatively unfamiliar region just outside of Lyon called ‘The Coteaux de Lyonnais’.

It is just beyond Northern Rhone and South of Beaujolais, sandwiched between the two regions. The influence of Beaujolais can be felt here with grape varieties like Gamay and Chardonnay and there are Granitic soils with blue stones same of the well known Beaujolais Crus.

I trained in Beaune and spent my early career at one of the most celebrated wineries in Burgundy, Domaine Lafarge, he has also worked at Burn Cottage in New Zealand, both specialists in Biodynamic viticulture.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience back to my village (Savigny) where I am deeply passionate about saving the historic vineyards of his area and bringing this relatively unfamiliar region to the attention of the wine world.

The vineyards are all certified biodynamic with an emphasis on vine and soil health, promoting biodiversity through gentle shallow plowing, working by hand and avoiding the use of process chemicals.
