Domaine Rémi Niero - Côte-Rôtie Les 400 de la Viallière 2022 (Magnum avec étui)
97+/100
Jeb Dunnuck
"Limited to 400 numbered magnums, this is a little gem you won't want to miss!"
"Made from 100% Syrah, the 2022 Côte Rôtie Les 400 De La Viallière offers a striking bouquet of dark and blue fruits, fresh spring flowers, crushed stone, spicy oak, and violets. This concentrated, inky-red, and powerful wine remains tight, precise, and perfectly balanced on the palate. It reflects the ripe style of the vintage without being exuberant or excessive, and displays rock-solid structure and depth, as well as a lovely finish. It possesses enough oak notes to warrant 5 to 7 years of bottle aging and will age beautifully in cool cellars for the next 15 to 20 years. Best enjoyed between 2030 and 2045.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2025)

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.
