Domaine Sainte-Anne
Domaine Sainte-Anne, located in the Cotes-du-Rhone Villages appellation of Saint-Gervais, was established in 1960 by Burgundy native Guy Steinmaier. Drawn to the region’s unique terroir, Steinmaier set out to produce wines with a distinctive expression of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, embracing traditional Rhone Valley methods with a Burgundian touch.
His pioneering approach helped elevate the reputation of Saint-Gervais within the Rhone, as he was among the first to recognize the potential of its limestone-rich soils and distinctive microclimate.
Now managed by his sons, the domaine continues to produce wines known for their balance of rich fruit, minerality, and refined structure, embodying both heritage and innovation.

In a hidden gem of the Cotes-du-Rhone Villages, Saint-Gervais, winemaker Guy Steinmaier channels his Burgundy roots into this classic, Grenache-forward Rhône blend. Set just northwest of Tavel and Lirac, Saint-Gervais sits along the same latitude as renowned Gigondas, yielding a wine brimming with concentrated currant, plum, and red raspberry preserves, complemented by white pepper and subtle mineral and earthy tones.
This vibrant, traditional expression pairs beautifully with slow-cooked lamb stew with apricots and warm spices or a spiced lentil and roasted red pepper curry with coconut milk and cumin.
