Meet the Winemaker | Domaine Alary | Thursday 12th March 2026
On Thursday March 12th, WineOnline.ie will have the pleasure to welcome Jean Etienne Alary of Domaine Alary in Cairanne, in the Rhône Valley to Dublin. This is one of the top leading estates in the whole of the Rhone valley and we are extremely excited to bring Jean Etienne to Dublin for this one off event. Jean Etienne is leading the winemaking at the estate with the seady hand and watchful eye of his father who has tended thee land before him. They are a great team and love working together. Jean Etienne has brought a modern twist to the winemaking at the estate and is wholly supported by Denis. The wines are showing a freshness and a purity of fruit , owing to the presentation of the terroir above all else in each wine he produces. The Wines are amazing!
The Alary estate dates back to 1692, when André Alary became the first of many generations of his family to settle in Cairanne, tending the land and nurturing the vineyards. Today, these vineyards stretch all the way from the hillsides to the plain. Cairanne’s climate, along with its superb terroirs, are exceptionally well-suited to wine growing and yield a range of excellent red and white wines. The 30 hectares of vines have been managed by Denis Alary and his son Jean-Etienne since 2016. In a bid to protect the environment and improve quality, the estate was certified organic in 2009. Driven by Jean-Etienne, they are all now moving towards biodynamics.
Jean-Etienne studied oenology and has trained with some of the world’s best winemakers (Confuron-Cotedidot in Burgundy, Henschke in Australia etc.) His experience, enthusiasm and new ideas ensure that the Domaine wines move ever closer to perfection
Jean Etienne will welcome you with a glass of Champagne on arrival, followed by all of the wines from his family’s estate. WineOnline.ieimport all of these wines directly and are excited to show you the very best of Cairanne and the Rhone Valley!
