The CONDRIEU appellation is the lord in white of the Rhone Valley wines and is known throughout the world.

Its production is spread over 7 communes located in 3 departments: Loire, Rhône and Ardèche but all these communes are within a radius of 15-20 km with an exceptional subsoil for white wine.

This Condrieu cuvée is made by Yves CUILLERON from vines located in the Lieu-Dit "Verlieu" in the commune of Chavanay in the Loire in the heart of the appellation area.

A viticulture reasoned like all the wines of the domain with a green harvest for a beautiful selection of grapes and to promote maturation.

After 12 months of maturing separated in two parts: half in wooden tuns and half in Burgundian barrels, we obtain a Condrieu of a very beautiful quality!

A very floral nose with field flowers like all the white flowers that appear in spring and of course a fruity note with apricot and peach typical of this emblematic grape variety.

Beautiful roundness in mouth where all these aromas are sublime and offer us a beautiful length.

A wine that can be enjoyed young and that will not suffer from a wait of several years, even up to a cellaring of nearly 10 years.
