Condrieu white "Vernon" - 2022

"The Niero estate is making a comeback in the guide this year. It is run by Rémi, who returned in 2004 and trained as an engineer, and who at the same time manufactures vats for wine fermentation. The heart of the production is located in Condrieu with 4 ha divided into six parcels. " Le guide des meilleurs vins de France 2019, La Revue du Vin de France

The appellation Condrieu is located in the northern Côtes du Rhône region and covers only 145 hectares with a unique and magical grape variety, Viognier. The Domaine Robert et Rémi Niero has existed for 3 generations. Following Jean Pichon, then Robert Niero, it was Rémi Niero who took over the family estate in 2004, after having travelled and worked on various wine estates all over the world, in order to learn what is best elsewhere and to acquire the open-mindedness necessary to run the family estate.

Distinguished as one of the most enchanting terroirs in its appellation, the renowned Vernon hillside stretches out in small sun-drenched terraces on a friable granite soil known locally as "arzelle". This superb harvest stands out for its depth, harmony and mineral character. Offering exceptional aromatic complexity that becomes more apparent with aeration, it embodies the essence of a true delight.
