Agnes Levet

Since 2004, Agnes Levet has managed both vineyard and cellar work at Vignobles Levet, her family’s domaine. That date marks the point at which the estate’s daily decisions became her responsibility, from the first calls among the vines to the final shaping of the wine in the cellar. In Côte-Rôtie, where steep slopes and close attention define the work, the job asks for patience, consistency, and a steady hand. Her path is one of continuity, but it is also the practical discipline of making wine season after season, without drift.

At Vignobles Levet, the owner and winemaker role means holding vineyard and cellar together. Agnes Levet works at the point where those two sides meet, guiding the estate through the long sequence of choices that determine how a wine will read in the glass. It is hands-on work tied to the material realities of the domaine: the vines, the rhythm of harvest, the cellar’s temperature and texture, and the attention required to keep a family estate aligned with its place. The role is visible and behind the scenes at once, with leadership expressed through consistency, judgment, and care.

La Chavaroche, Côte Rôtie 'Amethyste', Peroline Cote Rotie, and Condrieu 2023 are the signatures associated with Agnes Levet. Together, they map the range of Vignobles Levet: the pull of Côte-Rôtie, the lift of Condrieu 2023, and the distinct identity of each cuvée. Each name points back to the same discipline, shaped in Ampuis and determined long before a bottle is opened. In a region where naming carries weight, these bottlings offer a compact view of her craft.

Her defining recognition is the management of both vineyard and cellar work at the domaine in Côte-Rôtie. It is not a single event but a sustained condition, built through years of direct responsibility.
