CLAIRMONT
Information
- Description
- Clairmont is a winegrowing cooperative in the northern Rhône Valley, founded in 1972 by three families of winemakers driven by a spirit of sharing and collaboration.
Today comprising 9 families and nearly 14 winegrowers, the winery manages over 130 hectares mainly divided among the Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, and Collines Rhodaniennes appellations, with a production made up predominantly of red wines based on Syrah, though the share of whites (Marsanne and Roussanne) keeps increasing.
Clairmont stands out for its small size, which fosters a family-like and highly collaborative organization where every member is involved in management, production choices, and the estate’s development.
Mutual help, collective work, and intergenerational transmission are the pillars of its model, notably visible during harvests and convivial events such as the annual open days.
Production philosophy
Each harvest is vinified separately to highlight the uniqueness of each plot, while maintaining the cooperative’s common stamp of quality.
Clairmont offers two main Crozes-Hermitage ranges: the core range focused on richness and fruit is complemented by parcel selections showcasing the diversity of soils.
Environmental commitment
A large majority of the vines benefit from Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE 3) certification, supported by organic or conversion farming approaches, underlining Clairmont's commitment to sustainability.
Clairmont thus embodies a cooperative model rooted in people, quality, respect for terroir, and wine tourism innovation, while acting as a leading player in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation.
