Pierre Dupond

The respected Dupond family has been part of the wine world for more than a century and a half. It all began in the mid-19th century, when Antoine Dupond, originally from the Cru Beaujolais area, started selling his wines in Lyon and Saint-Étienne in the 1860s. In 1880, his son Joanny Dupond expanded the family’s holdings, combining the winemaking traditions of Beaujolais and the Côtes du Rhône. This union laid the foundation for a unique style where the elegance of the north meets the power of the south.

Today, the estate is led by Hervé Dupond, the fifth generation of the family, who combines inherited savoir-faire with a modern vision. He has expanded production, built long-term partnerships with local growers—families who have worked alongside the Duponds for generations—and modernized the winery while preserving its traditional spirit. Each year, Hervé selects the finest vineyard parcels, ensuring that every wine faithfully expresses its terroir of origin.

Wine style

Pierre Dupond wines represent a refined balance between Burgundian elegance and Rhône character. Hervé believes that wine should speak for itself, so the entire production process follows a philosophy of minimal intervention: natural fermentation, no chemical additives, and aging in temperature-controlled concrete tanks.

• White wines made from ‘Chardonnay’ show pure aromatics, bright acidity, and subtle minerality, blending citrus, white-flower, and almond notes with a soft structural depth.
• Red wines from ‘Gamay’ or ‘Syrah’ are fruity, vibrant, and well-balanced, offering layers of cherry, raspberry, and gentle spice. They reflect the warmth of the southern sun while maintaining the elegance of Burgundy.

Hervé Dupond aims to create wines that are approachable, harmonious, and authentic, yet also possess aging potential, allowing them to evolve gracefully over time.
