"The nose of this cuvée shows full maturity, with a very buttery character. The palate, still a bit closed and compact, definitely needs to open up, but this Condrieu, with its subtle bitter notes, shows great promise." (RVF Special Vintage 2015 - June 2016)

About the estate:
Tucked away on a small cul-de-sac in the heart of the village of Condrieu, Domaine Niero has just nine hectares of vineyards: four in Condrieu, two in Côte Rôtie, a little over one in Saint-Joseph, and a little less than one in Crozes-Hermitage. There is also about one hectare dedicated to the Collines Rhodaniennes IGP, planted with both Syrah and Viognier. Although the estate’s clean and modern approach is undeniable, the wines are full of character and express the distinct terroirs from which they come.

About the estate:
Since 2004, Rémi has been at the helm of this family-owned estate, which boasts a fine array of terroirs in Condrieu, with 4 hectares divided into six plots. He also produces several Côte-Rôtie cuvées from the Viallière and Bassenon terroirs, as well as a Saint-Joseph cuvée, Bois Prieur, and another in Crozes-Hermitage. The wines are serious and rather classic, though their aging sometimes leaves a slight mark on them during their youth.
