Domaine Gramenon is run by Michèle Aubèry-Laurent and her son Maxime François. She established the domaine with her husband Philippe in 1990 in the north-eastern edge of the southern Rhône. Tragically Philippe was killed in an accident in 1999 but Michelle stepped to the forefront carrying on where Philippe left off. Since then Michèle has discovered her own creative voice in so doing she has catapulted Domaine Gramenon into cult wine status.
