On-call time: 20 years
Alcohol degree: 15%

As a great winemaker as he is, Stéphane Montez is as gifted for Syrah as for Viognier. Thus, on the granites of Chavanay, his Condrieu wines offer an uncommon refinement: witness this Grandes Chaillées (the local name for dry stone walls) with nuances of slightly powdery apricot, underlined by an elegant breeding. The texture is of great nobility, fresh and chiselled, hedonistic!

This Condrieu comes from six parcels located on superb terroirs in Chavanay, Saint Michel sur Rhône and Vérin. The chaillées are terraces maintained by dry stone walls. Granitic terroir (Arzel)

De-stemming, then skin maceration for 9 hours. Malolactic fermentation on the lees in oak barrels and demi-muids. Battonage sparingly. Aged for 10 months in 75% new barrels and 25% new French oak demi-muids (no racking and no sulphur).
