Romain Paire has been instrumental in putting Côte Roannaise on the map, shining a spotlight on this volcanic terroir that serves as a natural home for the Gamay Saint-Romain grape. Grown at 400 meters above sea level, this unique varietal is the soul of the appellation, producing Red wines with real presence—structured, but never overdone.

Awarded one star in the Revue du vin de France guide—a respected benchmark in French wine criticism—Paire has won over critics with his ability to express fruit with remarkable precision and depth. His 23-hectare estate is farmed biodynamically, and his cuvées stand among the most compelling in the region. Aging takes place in concrete vats, clay amphorae, and large wooden casks, resulting in refined, vibrant wines that are as delicious as they are distinctive.
