“A deep and lingering wine that will reveal all the charms of a great Syrah terroir”

“Made from a co-fermentation of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, the 2024 Côte-Rôtie Eminence immediately reveals notes of red plum, crushed violet, black cherry, and cedar with delicate undertones. Medium-bodied, round, and concentrated, the 2024 vintage promises to be a Côte-Rôtie of great elegance, offering lovely liveliness throughout the palate, leading to a refined finish.” (Vinous 2026)

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

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 more than 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.
