“The essence of true nectar”
"The grapes were perfectly ripe in 2022, and the old vines (70 years old) on the south-facing Vernon hillside produced a powerful yet refined wine, half of which was aged in barrels with regular stirring. The appealing nose features sun-kissed yellow fruit aromas supported by well-integrated oak. Full-bodied and delicately smooth, evoking toasted brioche and dried fruit, the palate then tightens under the influence of a subtle mineral tension that brings liveliness and complexity to the whole. A true expression of the terroir, to be cellared for the long term.” (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

About the wine:

Full-bodied and delicately smooth, evoking toasted brioche and dried fruit, the palate then tightens under the influence of a subtle mineral tension that brings liveliness and complexity to the whole. A true expression of the terroir, best left to age in the cellar.

About the estate:
Tucked away on a small cul-de-sac in the heart of the village of Condrieu, Domaine Niero comprises just nine hectares of vineyards: four in Condrieu, two in Côte Rôtie, just over one in Saint-Joseph, and just under one in Crozes-Hermitage. There is also about one hectare dedicated to the Collines Rhodaniennes IGP, planted with both Syrah and Viognier. Although the clean, modern approach is undeniable, the wines are full of character and expressive of their different terroirs.

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

About the wine:
Aroma of ripe, mealy, and spicy apples. Rich and velvety on the palate, with notes of nectarine and apple peel. Good texture and a lingering finish. Charming and remarkably restrained for the vintage.
