Comment from the domaine: On these confidential heights, the vines are adorned with gold. This small, invaluable plot cultivates excellence. Proudly rooted on their granite pedestal, the old vines reveal all their delicacy. Harvested later, this Condrieu is all the richer, more vibrant, and is treasured like the most sumptuous of treasures.
