    The wine

    This Condrieu is produced from 30-year-old vines. The berries are macerated for a short time in their skins and the wine is stirred weekly and matured for 10 months in new barriques. After a few years in the cellar it takes on an attractive pale yellow colour and develops intense aromas typical for the grape, with notes of yellow stone fruits, yellow flowers, sweet spices, vanilla and a hint of wood. Its creamy texture provides volume, balanced by a subtle acidity that gives the wine good ageing potential. With its aromatic persistence, full body and suave texture, this is a superb wine for food.

    Information about domain Domaine Bonnefond

    Patrick and Christophe Bonnefond are the sons of a winegrower who sold grapes to the local negoçiant (Jaboulet). In 1990, they took over the family domaine and made the decision to produce the wine themselves. Their offerings very quickly seduced the critics. These two brothers shy away from the media, preferring a quiet life cultivating their vines on magnificent terroir and producing elegant wines. Domaine Bonnefond have found the perfect balance between the tradition of their terroir and the modernity of their methods. The estate covers 6 hectares on the Côte Brune of Condrieu, allowing them to produce an aromatic white. The steep slopes of Les Rochains and the Côte Rozier in the Côte-Rôtie appellation are worked only by hand. In the winery, the Bonnefond brothers choose to élevage their wines in oak for at least 20 months. The red wines from this domaine show excellent cellaring potential. Two cuvées in particular from this domaine stand out: Côte Rozier and Les Rochains. Two fine cuvées that are the model of intensity, complexity and long finish
