From the estate’s finest holding, situated in the middle of the slope overlooking the Rhône, this cuvée from the famed “Côte Châtillon” lieu-dit has long been the flagship Condrieu of Domaine Gérard.

We have also been fortunate to taste some older examples of this wine, which showed an excellent capacity for cellaring.
