Condrieu from the heart of the appellation, made by one of the three houses — with Vernay and Guigal — that effectively define the place. "La Petite Côte" isn't a lieu-dit; it's Cuilleron's blend of south and southeast-facing terraces above Chavanay and Verlieu, old-vine Viognier rooted in muscovite-rich granite (a different soil from the biotite granite under the estate's Chaillets bottling, and it shows in the wine's lift). Everything here is hand-work: the terraces are too steep for machines, yields are cut back by debudding, and the fruit comes in by hand. In the cellar it's deliberately unhurried — spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, malolactic in barrel and large cask, then nine months on the lees with no bâtonnage and no racking, which builds texture without ever coating the fruit in oak. Worth remembering how close this grape came to vanishing: in the 1940s the entire world's Viognier amounted to about six hectares, nearly all of it in Condrieu. Now the appellation runs to roughly 217 hectares, and this is a benchmark example of why it came back.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with apricots and thyme, scallops in brown butter, Thai green curry with lemongrass, salt-crusted branzino, or a ripe Saint-Marcellin with toasted walnut bread.

Tasting Profile

Dry white with a big perfumed nose — apricot, white peach, honeysuckle, a touch of ginger. Full-bodied and broad on the palate with Viognier's low-acid, almost oily texture, but the granite soils give it a saline, mineral lift that keeps it from feeling heavy. Time on the lees adds a creamy note without obvious oak. Long, floral, faintly stony finish.
