Condrieu

See Condrieu producers See a list of Condrieu wines See map

Condrieu is to Viognier what the Cote de Nuits is to Pinot Noir. There are now plantings worldwide of Viognier but this pernickety grape’s 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 appellation’s production. The vineyards are adjacent to Côte-Rôtie but not as steep as Côte-Rôtie’s. 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.

Recommended Producers: Pierre Gaillard, Mouton.
Best Vintages: 2006,2005,2004

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Viognier, Ready, but will keep, 14.5% alc. Apricot, peach, spice and hints of vanillin ; an appropriately voluptuous Condrieu, appropriate in the sense that such descriptions are sui generis for Viognier here and here alone, with any inference of over-indulgence quickly silenced by a palate profile which is both structured and profoundly satisfying. (Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer) MORE

2007 SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE	Condrieu, La Loye, Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin France » Rhône » Condrieu	Bottle (75cl)	£ 30.43 $ 49.57	No more stock available

Parker Score: 91 /100.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Viognier, Ready, but will keep, Organic (Not certified/in conversion), 13.5% alc. Yves’ ‘entry-level’ Condrieu would be a tête de cuvée for most, such is its quality. Peach and silky nectarine fruit on the palate follow classic aromas of apricot, quince and white pepper. MORE Drink: 2009 -2012 .

2007 SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE	Condrieu, Côte Chatillon, Domaine Mouton France » Rhône » Condrieu	Bottle (75cl)	£ 31.30 $ 50.98	No more stock available

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Viognier, Ready, but will keep, 12% alc. This is a rich and ripe Condrieu, with a generous honeyed, creamy texture and a surprisingly firm and linear acidity. Jean Claude advocates trying this with foie gras and is sure that it will improve over three to four years. MORE Drink: 2009 -2012 .

		Special case price £ 366.89 Buy 12 and save £ 102.68 (21.5%)
	Medium Bodied, Dry, White, Viognier, Ready, but will keep, 14% alc. After an unusually flamboyant 2006, the 2007 marks a real return to form. Despite the lack of wood, René Rostaing's Condrieu, La Bonnette achieves a textbook Viogner texture; the wine is rich and finely layered, infused with honey, dried apricots and there is a twist of acidity at the end. MORE Drink: 2010 -2012 . Parker Score: 91 /100.

2007 SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE	Condrieu, Les Chaillets, Domaine Cuilleron France » Rhône » Condrieu	Bottle (75cl)	£ 41.74 $ 67.98	No more stock available

MORE Drink: 2010 -2013 .

				0 in basket

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Viognier, Drink now, Organic (Not certified/in conversion), 13.5% alc. From a single suitably vertiginous parcel in the commune of Vernon, this Condrieu is aged for an impressive 18 months in barrique before release. The empahisis is on ripeness juxtaposed with fraicheur, manifested in an almost tropical element on the one hand, and a smoky flinty backdrop on the other. A very fine Condrieu, which would work well with red mullet or sea bass. (Simon Field MW - BBR Buyer) MORE Drink: 2009 -2012 .

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Viognier, Ready, but will keep, 13.5% alc. The archetype of the richer, oaky style of Condrieu, La Doriane has had a particularly successful outing in 2007. Pear, peach and more tropical elements dominate the nose whilst the elegant palate exhibits a rich, spicy, honeyed texture MORE Drink: 2009 -2013 . Parker Score: 95 /100.
