"Inimitable class!"
This Côte-Rôtie launched by Christine has made the estate as famous as Vernon itself: produced from old Syrah vines in the Maison Rouge vineyard, it has an inimitable class! Structured and perfectly balanced, this cuvée is as sensual and voluptuous as it is spicy and captivating. The tannins are assertive, but the mastery of its vinification results in an exceptionally silky palate: velvety smooth. Power, elegance, harmony, sensuality...

About the domain :
Emma Amsellem has joined her mother Christine Vernay to develop the rugged hillsides of Condrieu and Côte Rôtie, lands drenched in sunshine when frost doesn't interfere, as in 2021, a vintage Emma is not about to forget since she had just returned to the domaine. Beyond the vagaries of the weather, the year was a great success for the whites, with saline expressions well in place. A vintage in which we find all the splendor of the Vernon hillside.

About the domain :
Christine Vernay, who brilliantly took over the reins of this emblematic Condrieu estate in 1996, is slowly handing over to her daughter, Emma Amsellem. While the estate is intimately linked to the history of the Condrieu appellation, of which it is still the most brilliant representative, it also offers a remarkable selection of reds whose maturation has been refined in recent years. Tasting a decade-old Condrieu cuvée here reveals the potential of this terroir, too often overwhelmed by the varietal notes of Viognier. The energy and potential contained in the estate's wines set a benchmark.
