La Petite Côte is a 100% Viognier from muscovite granite soils located in the centre of the Condrieu appellation. Benefiting from a south / south-east exposure on terraces, it is hand harvested before being aged in Burgundy barrels and blended from different plots before bottling to obtain a wonderful complexity. Aromas of apricot, quince, peach and citrus fruits, a full bodied palate with a touch of sweetness from the honey notes, La Petite Côte is a benchmark for Condrieu, and a wine everyone should experience to fully appreciate.

Tasting Note

Golden yellow with golden highlights.
Notes of apricots, quince, peaches and citrus fruits. Some delicate notes of flowers (lilac, rose and violet) and honey.
Delicious and fresh on the palate, with a nice spicy power. A thirst-quenching bitterness lengthens the persistence of the wine in the mouth.
