“A graceful delight”

“The 2023 Côte-Rôtie Blonde du Seigneur opens with aromas of slightly ripe black cherry, fresh violet, and rich notes. Spicy notes add further nuance. Complex and fragrant, the 2023 is a remarkably refreshing Blonde du Seigneur that leaves a refined final impression with a velvety finish. ” (Vinous 2026)

5-Star-Rated Estate (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the estate:

Emma Amsellem joined her mother, Christine Vernay, to showcase the rugged hillsides of Condrieu and Côte Rôtie—lands bathed in sunshine when frost doesn’t interfere, as it did in 2021, a vintage Emma isn’t likely to forget since she had just returned to the estate. Despite the weather’s vagaries, the year proved highly successful for the whites, with well-defined mineral notes. It’s a vintage that showcases all the splendor of the Vernon hillside.

Rated estate (2026 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)

About the estate:

Emma Amsellem is finding her footing at the helm of the estate, smoothly taking over from her mother, Christine Vernay, whose work since 1996 has been widely praised. While the estate is intimately linked to the history of the Condrieu appellation (it remains its most brilliant representative), it also offers a remarkable selection of reds, whose aging processes have been refined in recent years. Tasting a Condrieu vintage here that’s a good decade old helps one understand the potential of this terroir, which is all too often overshadowed by the varietal notes of Viognier. The energy and potential found in the estate’s wines set the standard.

Rated Estate (2026 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Spectator)

About the wine:

A mineral and salty wine, with a fragrant layer of blackberry compote accompanied by notes of grated iron and a lively, tangy acidity, leading to a fresh, taut, and long finish. Delicious on the palate. Syrah and Viognier. Best enjoyed between 2027 and 2035.

About the wine:

Composed of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier from the three vineyards Lancement, Maison Rouge, and Bassenon, the 2023 Côte-Rôtie Blonde du Seigneur opens with aromas of slightly ripe black cherry, fresh violet, and rich notes. Spicy notes add further nuance. Complex and fragrant, the 2023 is a remarkably refreshing Blonde du Seigneur, leaving a refined final impression with a velvety finish.
