      2022 Condrieu is slightly more reserved and more tightly wound than past vintages. Although coming from a fairly warm and dry vintage, the 2022 captures the freshness remarkably well. Landing on a complex finish, a viognier built for the long-haul.

      From vines planted in 1990 in a small south facing amphitheatre near Malleval not far from the famous Lys de Volan site formerly owned by Gerard Depardieu and Alain Paret (Guigal recently bought half of Lys de Volan). The soil here is granitic migmatite leococrate which imparts wonderful freshness and texture to the wine. This wine is matured for 8 months in older barriques allowing for a the fresher and more mineral style of Condrieu (13.5% alc). Only 250 dozen produced and thus a rare gem for the cellar.

      Domaine de la Roche Paradis

      Yann Menager is the owner and winemaker for this small domain, established in 2012 and based in Saint-Joseph, just south of Condrieu. He was the vineyard manager for Yves Cuilleron for almost 20 years and has leveraged his knowledge of the great sites of the northern Rhône to acquire some superb vineyard parcels of his own. Over the last decade he has assembled 6.5 ha in Saint-Joseph, Condrieu and Côte Rôtie.

      The vineyards are all managed organically with no herbicides used, picking is done by hand and yields are kept low at around 35 hL/ha or less (maximum yield allowed for Saint Joseph is 40 hl/ha). The wines are made at Yann’s small stone winery in the tiny hamlet of Champailler, located very high above the vineyards of Saint Joseph at 798 m elevation (no vines at this elevation here - mostly just mixed farms of cows sheep and goats) and just below the aptly named Roche Paradis.
