Or rather, which CONDRIEU wines to invest in?<\/span><\/h2>\n

We have chosen to use the word investment, not to advise you to buy this or that bottle in order to make a capital gain in a few years' time, but rather to invest in certain estates or appellations that will be more difficult to access financially in a few years' time.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

THE RH\u00d4NE VALLEY<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

A rare appellation, much sought-after by lovers of great white wines, we'd like to introduce you to the CONDRIEU appellation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Situated on the right bank of the Rh\u00f4ne about ten kilometers from Vienne, this appellation of just 170 hectares is shared between some 90 winegrowers who are fortunate enough to produce one of France's finest white wines.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The appellation is produced in 7 communes spread over 3 d\u00e9partements:\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Condrieu<\/span><\/span>\u00a0in the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Rh\u00f4ne<\/span><\/span>,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Chavanay<\/span><\/span>,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Malleval<\/span><\/span>,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Saint-Michel-sur-Rh\u00f4ne<\/span><\/span>,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Saint-Pierre-de-B\u0153uf<\/span><\/span>,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Cylinder<\/span><\/span>\u00a0in the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Loire<\/span><\/span>and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Limony<\/span><\/span>\u00a0in the<\/span><\/span>Ard\u00e8che<\/span><\/span>\u00a0is no more than 20km from one end to the other.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The vineyards face due south and benefit from a semi-continental climate. In summer, it's very hot and sunny, while in winter, it's very cold.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of the vines, only one grape variety is allowed in the production of CONDRIEU wines. This is VIOGNIER, which, combined with the appellation's granitic and sandy soils, produces great, long-keeping whites. In fact, this vineyard is a sight to behold, as the vines are planted on sandy terraces and offer a very pleasant panorama.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It's impossible to talk about the CONDRIEU appellation without mentioning the AOC CHATEAU-GRILLET<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A small appellation enclosed within the AOC CONDRIEU, this one benefits from a microclimate that enables it to produce an exceptional white wine. It, too, is made exclusively from Viognier grapes and has remarkable ageing potential.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Returning to our Condrieu, as mentioned above, there are around 90 winemakers in the region, but some of them come out on top, extracting the very best from Viognier to produce gourmet-quality wines.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
