Perched on schist-rich slopes just above Ampuis, Viallière is one of Côte-Rôtie’s top lieux-dits, known for producing Syrah with fine tannins, red fruit lift, and floral perfume. Clusel-Roch, a family-run estate farming organically since the early ‘90s, takes a gentle, hands-off approach: whole-cluster fermentation, native yeasts, and aging in mostly used oak barrels.

The 2022 vintage brings purity and poise—notes of violet, black cherry, olive, and crushed rock, framed by a fresh, linear structure. There’s depth here, but it’s coiled rather than explosive. The whole-cluster fermentation adds aromatic lift and savory complexity without overwhelming the wine’s detail.

Drink with a decant now, or cellar for 10–15 years. For lovers of Syrah that whispers rather than roars—think Jamet, Levet (on a calmer day), or Northern Rhône with a Pinot-like soul—Clusel-Roch’s Viallière 2022 is a beautifully refined, terroir-driven gem.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2022 Côte-Rôtie La Viallière uses grapes from the lieu-dit of the same name, with vines planted back in 1984. Vinified with 40% whole clusters and matured for 20 months in French oak barriques (roughly 20% new), the 2022 reveals itself with evocative graphite, black plum, crushed violets and black cherry notes. Round and refreshing, the 2022 signs off with tenacity on the spiced finish." -Nicolas Greinacher

Robert Parker

RP 93
"Crafted from vines planted in the heart of the coteau, the 2022 Cote Rotie La Vialliere, fermented with 30% whole bunches, offers up aromas of violets, dark berries, cassis, spices and earth. Medium to full-bodied, dense and tense, it's linear, with a fresh mid-palate, a juicy core of fruit and nicely framed tannins and has an ethereal, elegant finish. Matured for two years in barrels, it displays greater depth and a racier mineral profile than Les Schistes." -Yohan Castaing
