"Limited to 400 numbered magnums"

This unique cuvée is the result of exceptional vintages and a prestigious terroir, the “La Viallière” vineyard. Grown on brown soils, it stands out for its depth, velvety texture, and aromatic intensity. Limited exclusively to 400 numbered magnums, the size of the bottles gives the wine an extraordinary aging potential that will allow it to stand the test of time…

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 clean, modern approach is undeniable, the wines are full of character and express the distinct terroirs from which they come.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

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 parcels. 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.
