This vineyard is the jewel in the crown for this estate. Planted in 1955, 4ha of steep (35º gradient) above the village of Condrieu, facing perfectly South/South East. The soil is a complex mix of ‘arzelle’ (decomposed granite. Mica and Schist.) 33% fermented in Stainless steel/67% in Barriques (25% of which are new), elevage in barriques for one year, then settled for 3 months in stainless steel. Yields 35hL/ha.
Vivid, green-tinged yellow. Expansive orchard, citrus fruit, melon and floral aromas are sharpened by notes of smoky minerals and lemon zest. Concentrated pear, Meyer lemon and violet pastille flavors show a suave blend of richness and delicacy thanks to a core of juicy acidity and an emerging mineral nuance. Closes juicy, taut and extremely long, leaving a sexy floral note behind.

From 80-year-old vines facing south-southwest, the 2019 Condrieu Chery takes all the laudable aspects of the stellar 2018 and turns the volume up to 11. Flowers, crushed stone, dried spices and ripe apricots all show up on the nose and full-bodied, fleshy palate. Rich and textural without ever seeming overdone or heavy, it's a magnificent effort that should drink well for another 5 years or so. Drink: 2021-2026'
