Jocelyne & Yves Lafoy

Northern Rhône Viognier and Syrah from steep, storied granite slopes.

Jocelyne & Yves Lafoy operates in the Northern Rhône, where steep granite slopes and continental climate shape wines of precision and depth. The winery's Aux Ruses Condrieu, made from Viognier, captures the white wine character of this appellation—floral, textured, and mineral-driven. In red, the Cuvée RJ and Côte Rozier Côte-Rôties draw from Syrah grown on the region's most demanding terroirs. Both reds reflect the Northern Rhône's signature style: dark fruit intensity balanced by peppery spice and structured tannins. Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter have rated the portfolio, recognizing the technical execution across the range. The winery's focus remains on these two appellations—Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie—where marginal viticulture and careful winemaking yield wines that express their specific slopes and microclimates.
