The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine An obvious talent of the Northern Rhône Valley, Rémi Niero has made the hillsides of Côte Rôtie and Condrieu his specialty. A fan of delicate and elegant wines, praised by Robert Parker, this young talent, in the tradition of Jamet, delivers on these exceptional terroirs a totally accomplished and serene interpretation of the Viognier and Syrah grape varieties.
Wine Perfect reading of the viognier grape variety, the 2020 white Condrieu Chéry unfolds a great freshness in a very varied floral bouquet between lily of the valley, wisteria and bergamot. The palate continues this register with a beautiful mineral imprint, fullness, depth and substance, and a little woody touch that rounds out the whole with charm. The finish on fine bitters prolongs the tasting and brings a new energy to this wine of flesh and depth. A very good aging is in the offing. Rated 94/100 by Parker.
Vinification Hand harvested, pneumatically pressed, alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks.
Batonage for the barrels and malolactic fermentation.
Aged for 12 months in oak barrels (40%) and stainless steel tanks (60%).
