Condrieu is the spiritual home of Viognier. Here, on the steep slopes of the northern Rhone, this grape reaches its pinnacle of quality.
Domaine Richard makes this Condrieu Amaraze from the cru of La Mazare, one of Condrieu's largest crus. This cru broadly faces the Rhone River to the east but sweeps around to the south and south-west on incredibly steep slopes.
The wine is 70% aged in stainless steel, and 30% in large oak barrels.
The wine has all the richness we love in Condrieu: waxy & creamy with stoned fruit, mineral and subtle floral notes

The Region
Rhone Valley
The Rhône Valley wine region follows the Rhône river from just south of Lyon in the North to its delta on the Mediterranean coast. The region can roughly be divided into two parts: The Northern Rhone, where Syrah dominates the reds, and the Southern Rhone, where the reds are almost always blends, but with Grenache Noir the dominant variety.
The region is also know for its whites, with the tiny AOC of Condrieu being the spiritual home of Viognier, and the Marsanne / Roussanne wines of Hermitage, St Joseph and others.
