In 1929, Pierre Amadieu was 19 years old and already busy working the 7 hectares (17 acres) of vines of the small family vineyard in Gigondas. That very year, he decided to make and then sell the first wine bearing his name. The Pierre Amadieu winery was born.
For almost 40 years, with the help of his wife, Pierre developed the family vineyard and became a major player in the appellation. He built new winemaking facilities and a new cellar. In 1950, he bought two hillside properties called Romane and La Machotte.
As the years passed, generations came and went and plantings continued, the 7 hectares became 137 (338 acres), transforming the Pierre Amadieu winery into the largest privately-owned vineyard in Gigondas.
His two sons took up the reins, in 1965 for Jean-Pierre and in 1975 for Claude. The estate’s business has continued to grow under the management of the two brothers. Today, with the arrival of the new generation, the challenge is to preserve and promote this legacy. Pierre, the eldest grandchild, assisted by his uncle Claude, has been in charge since 1989. His cousins, Henri-Claude, Jean-Marie, and Marie, have progressively joined the ranks to look after the sales dimension, the winemaking aspect, and the wine tourism offer.

Write a reviewLovely wine! It carries the name of my favorite mountain, which I climbed over 16 times, so I guess I have to buy 13 additional bottles to celebrate each one of them. My last climb was in 2021 to celebrate my 50th birthday, like the wine on the photo. Thank you family Amadieu for making this nice wine.

Today, 11/02/2024, we taste a Gigondas Romane Machotte 1995 at home. Very nice surprise, a little tannin and a nice freshness preserved. A very present tasting duration to be able to fully enjoy our bottle. (A 3) It holds perfectly on our cheese board. I would put photos but it is impossible to add them! Thank you for this nice time.

I came to look for a white wine that I love, the Domaine Grande Romane, which was out of stock! but the person at the counter on Sunday, June 2nd was able to console me with another very nice and rounded white wine!!! Well done for welcoming and attending to the customer's needs. I will still be back in July to buy the Grande Romane estate!😊
