"A Viognier that is both charming and refined"

Created as a tribute to Frédéric Caillet, Benjamin and David’s great-grandfather, this meticulously crafted Condrieu offers both the aromatic finesse of Viognier and a beautiful balance on the palate. On the nose, it is expressive, with notes of apricot, peach, and white flowers, accompanied by a hint of honey and a subtle exotic touch. On the palate, it is rich and velvety, with the natural richness of Viognier, yet supported by a lovely minerality that gives the wine structure and extends the finish. Generous, yet light and elegant. A perfect companion as an aperitif, it will also beautifully complement scallops or poultry in a cream sauce.

Rated estate (2026 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

The two brothers, Benjamin and David Duclaux, cultivate their small vineyard in the southern part of the Côte-Rôtie appellation, where gneiss (and even granite on the border with Condrieu) replaces schist in the geological composition of the subsoil. Their wines offer more pronounced aromas of red fruit than those from other sectors, but the concentration of their two flagship wines (Maison Rouge and Coteaux de Tupin) shines in great vintages. The barrel aging is more refined than in the past, though there is still room for improvement in this area, particularly regarding the selection of barrels.

Wine rated (2026 Guide) 1*Star (2023 Vintage) (A very successful wine)

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

On their 6-hectare estate, founded by their great-grandfather in 1928, the Duclaux brothers focused exclusively on the Côte-Rôtie appellation (two vintages, La Germine and Maison Rouge). Since 2014, they have also been producing Condrieu. Their vineyard is located in the southern part of the appellation, on gneiss soil, on the steep slopes of Tupin-et-Semons.

Rated Estate (2026 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

The Duclaux estate, founded in 1928, is today one of Côte-Rôtie’s most reliable producers, crafting precise and refined wines without any artificial aging techniques. David and Benjamin are forging their path with consistency and flair. They produced their first Condrieu in 2014, named Les Caillets, in honor of their great-grandfather, Frédéric Caillet, the estate’s founder. The lineup comes highly recommended; the wines age beautifully.
