Condrieu is the home of the now internationally highly regarded grape variety Viognier. Condrieu wines have an intense scent of a meadow of flowers, sometimes also chamomile, the acidity is low and the body is full and smooth. The wines usually have a certain small proportion of new wooden barrels, which supports the structure but does not dominate the intense varietal aroma of the Viognier grape variety. At Vignobles Chirat, it is a sophisticated combination of several types of barrels that help create the perfect interplay of this wine.

AURÉLIEN et GILBERT CHIRAT make an enchanting Condrieu that has an enchanting Viognier scent. This is rather subtle for this grape variety, but very typical and leaves room for the fine minerality of the wine. On the palate, a beautifully creamy style without being broad, despite all its fullness, Les Chays Condrieu is always stimulating and makes you want to take another sip.
