"A lively Viognier!"

“Grown on a steep slope of muscovite granite in the hamlet of Chanson, bordering the stream of the same name, this Condrieu shines with a golden luster. An appellation as inspiring as its delightful aromas of lily of the valley, orchard fruits, vanilla, and brioche. Lively on the palate, impeccably fresh, and highly aromatic, the wine displays depth and elegance, complemented by a long, anise-tinged finish reminiscent of wild fennel. A top-tier wine, both lively and sophisticated.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

About the wine:

Grown on a steep slope of muscovite granite in the hamlet of Chanson, bordering the stream of the same name, this Condrieu shines with a golden luster. An appellation as inspiring as its delightful aromas of lily of the valley, orchard fruits, vanilla, and brioche. Lively on the palate, impeccably fresh, and highly aromatic, the wine displays depth and elegance, complemented by a long, anise-scented finish reminiscent of wild fennel. A top-tier bottle, both lively and sophisticated.

About the estate:

The estate’s origins date back to the 16th century; the Montez family has been growing grapes there since 1741. Stéphane Montez, who took over from his father Antoine in 1999, represents the ninth generation of winemakers. Today, he manages a 42-hectare vineyard (Cornas, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, and IGP) situated on the heights of Chavanay at an elevation of 320 meters. A sure bet in the northern valley.

About the estate:

Since 1997, Stéphane Montez has been cultivating a vineyard planted on steep hillsides located less than 2 kilometers from his winery, producing wines that beautifully reflect the identity of their terroirs. This rare estate produces 40% white wines, including a superb range of Condrieu wines. As for reds, the estate owns a plot of old Syrah vines in Saint-Joseph, which yield the generous and rich Cuvée du Papy, as well as fine vineyards in Côte-Rôtie.

Rated Winery (2025 Guide) Recommended

About the wine:

A lively, dense, and energetic Viognier, with aromas of apricot, peach skin, and a hint of floral honey. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, with a concentrated core of baked lemon. Textured and intense, with a velvety mouthfeel and a long, seductive finish. Enjoy now or celller.
