Condrieu is to Viognier what the Cote de Nuits is to Pinot Noir. There are now plantings worldwide of Viognier but this pernickety grapes spiritual homeland is still in Condrieu and this is still where the finest Viogniers in the world are produced.
The appellation was created in 1940 and today over 40 growers produce wine from just over 100 hectares of vineyards. In 1965 the appellation covered only 8 hectares.
Guigal accounts for 45% of the appellations production. The vineyards are adjacent to Côte-Rôtie but not as steep as Côte-Rôties. The best Condrieu wines are produced from soils that are on south or south-east facing narrow terraces of granite and where the average vine age is around 50 years old.
Condrieu is solely made from the Viognier grape. It is situated adjacent to Côte-Rôtie and also encompasses the separate AC of Château-Grillet. The wines are dry with a wonderful floral nose of peaches, apricots,violets and pears. They are quite alcoholic with lowish acidity. Condrieus are best drunk when young keeping the freshness and delicate fruit flavours.

If the Fleurs D’Automne is an adventure into the bitter-sweet realms of botrytis, this rather less poetically titled wine is sourced from late harvest non-botrytis grapes that have been allowed to dry in the sun and achieve concentration of their own accord through dehydration. The result ... MORE |

Jean Michel ferments 60% of his Condrieu in tank, the balance in wood. We feel he has got the balance just about right in 2009, capturing the sensuous viscosity of this naturally exuberant grape but not succumbing to self-indulgence. The floral notes are thus conspicuous and a shaft of fine ... MORE |

Sourced from vines with differing aspects, but the same decomposed granite soils, the Ravines is a brand name rather than a lieu-dit. The wine is refined and refreshing with a pleasing interplay between the classic Viognier apricot and peach profile, and a gentle spiciness. |
