Domaine Georges Vernay

Domaine Georges Vernay is a family business created in 1953, from 1.5 hectares of vines in the Condrieu "Coteau de Vernon" AOC. A pioneer in the revival of the appellation, Domaine Georges Vernay has always marked its wines with a unique style: finesse, elegance and harmony. Three generations have left their mark on the estate's philosophy, perpetuating age-old rituals with the purest respect for vines and people.

Domaine Georges Vernay lies at the heart of the steep hillsides of the northern Rhône Valley. The estate has become a major landmark in the history of Rhône Valley viticulture, from Georges Vernay 's rescue of the Condrieu appellation to the international recognition of Côte-Rôtie. Today, his children Luc and Christine Vernay are in charge of vinification, and the estate covers 16 hectares. Whatever their classification, the wines are always tasty and of the highest quality. An emblematic estate in the Rhône Valley, Domaine Vernay is renowned for its Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu wines. Christine Vernay, who has been managing the estate and making wine for over 20 years, took over in 1996 from her father (Georges Vernay, credited with saving the appellation and the viognier grape) and her grandfather (Francis Vernay), who were behind the creation of the estate. The Domaine, with its steep slopes, is now fully certified Viticulture Biologique, and is worked with passion and investment.
