The Domaine Joel Champet Estate
The estate is located in the Cote Brune in the lieu-dit La Vialliere. Joel Champet represents the 3rd generation of winemakers in the family.  His home and winery is perched on the hillside overlooking the Rhone River, surrounded by Syrah vines.  He inherited the vineyards from his father Emile, and his grandfather already owned some land where he used to grow some vines, fruits and vegetables.

The Domaine Joel Champet Vineyard
Joël Champet farms 3 hectares (7.40 acres) in Côte-Rôtie. He only uses Syrah grapes for his wines, no Viognier.  The soil type in this area is schist and the slopes are quite steep at 50-degree angles or more.  Production is about 1,000 cases per year.
