The Wines of Christophe Baron
Perhaps you’ve heard the almost mythical story: how the brash, young French vigneron visited the then little-known town called Walla Walla, and fell in love with a few acres of seemingly useless, stone-covered farmland. While the nay-sayers nayed, Christophe Baron deftly turned that field of stones into the acclaimed Cayuse Vineyards, named after a Native American tribe whose name was derived from the French word “cailloux,” meaning “stone.”
And the rest, as they say, is history. A whole lot of spectacular wine, too.
Over the past 20 years, Christophe has made it his mission to craft food-friendly wines of incredible depth, individuality, and character, all from fruit grown entirely using biodynamic farming methods. What was considered by many a foolish gamble on that field of stones has been rewarded year after year with some of the most acclaimed wines in the region, and in the nation.
