Patrick Jasmin began managing Jasmin Cote Rotie in the northern Rhone wine after the accidental death of his father in 1999. Patrick, an avid motocross racer, became a champion in France, when he won the Kart-Cross in 2000. The Jasmin domaine was founded at the start of the 20th century. The first vintages made date as far back as 1910. Making Cote Rotie is not new to Patrick, in fact, he is the fourth generation in his family to produce Jasmin Cote Rotie.

The 5.3 hectare Jasmin Cote Rotie vineyard has vines ranging in age that are up to 60 years old. Close to 5% Viognier is blended in every vintage. On average, 1,200 cases of Jasmin Cote Rotie are produced each year.
