La Vigne du Perron - François Grinand

In 1993, François had reached the ripe old age of 27 and he started making wine. He rents 2 hectares of vines and also owns 0.25 of a hectare that he recently planted in some beautiful Jura limestone scree in the south of Bugey. At the time he was the only one in the region to make “pure juice” wines. He found inspiration and support from winemakers such as Marcel Lapierre, Pierre Overnoy and the famous Jacques Néauport! Francois has always divided his time between his work as a winemaker and as a pianist. His wines are melodic and possess great finesse.
