The J. Denuzière story began in 1876 and it continues to write itself today. At the time, Joanny Paret, the founder of the estate based in Condrieu, wished to develop the reputation of local wines in Rhône cafes and bistros by distributing them using his horse team.

For several decades, the family business lived on with the dynamism of Joseph Paret, son of Joanny, who has perpetuated the work carried out by his father for forty years. Paret Wines then became Denuzière Wines when Pierre Denuzière, Joseph Paret's son-in-law took over from his father-in-law in the 1940’s. For 80 years, the name Denuzière has been part of the vineyard landscape in the Northern Rhône Valley. Today, the J. Denuzière micro-cuvées are crafted around this Condriot heritage and strengthen over the vintages.

J. Denuzière owns vine plots in Condrieu and Cornas. One hectare on the Condriot cadastral area known as the “Tinal” and a little more than one hectare on the steep Cornassian terraces called En-Sauman. In addition to these two properties, there are other northern appellations on which J. Denuzière works exclusively and closely with regional winegrowers. Each terroir is carefully studied to get the best from each grape variety, with the idea of aging single plots of vines for a unique result.
