Core offering

Domaine Courbis is a family-owned winery producing fifteen cuvées of AOC (Saint-Joseph, Cornas, Saint-Péray, Crozes-Hermitage) and IGP (Ardèche, Collines Rhodaniennes) wines from 40+ hectares of Northern Rhône hillside vineyards, sold direct-to-consumer via its own e-commerce website. The estate also offers paid wine tourism experiences including cave visits, vineyard tours, tasting workshops, treasure hunts, and corporate seminars at the Châteaubourg property.

Product overview

Domaine Courbis is a family-owned winery producing fifteen wines across three product lines: Cuvées Initiales (estate wines from their own parcels representing the domain's identity in AOC Saint-Joseph, Cornas, Saint-Péray, and Crozes-Hermitage), Cuvées Parcellaires (single-parcel wines from exceptional terroir sites in Saint-Joseph and Cornas designed for aging and gastronomy), and Cuvées IGP (wines under Ardèche and Collines Rhodanienne designations offering accessibility with regional grape varieties). The estate also offers experiential services including cave tours, vineyard visits, tasting workshops, and corporate seminars. All wines are produced exclusively from their own vineyards—over 40 hectares—without negotiant purchases, maintaining full independence. The winery operates gravity-fed winemaking facilities with stainless steel and concrete vats, and barrel aging in oak barrels ranging from new to six-wine barrels depending on the cuvée.
