Domaine André Perret - Exceptional Legend of North Rhône
"One of my go-to vignerons for incredible Condrieu, André Perret, whose estate is located just outside the town of Chavanay, fashions three Condrieu and two Saint Joseph reds. His entry-level Condrieu comes from all granite soils and some younger vines. The Condrieu Clos Chanson is the smallest production release and comes from a time plot of granite and clay soils just beside the estate. And lastly, his Condrieu Chery comes from the oldest vines and more granite and schist soils. Along with Vernay, Guigal and a few other, Perret makes some of the top Condrieu in just about every vintage. If I see a bottle of his Condrieu on a wine list, I order it. In addition to the whites, he makes two reds, a classic Saint Joseph and a richer, barrel-aged Les Grisières. Both shine for their elegance and seamlessness more so than their power and richness. This is a fabulous estate that readers shouldn’t miss." (Robert Parker)
"One of the foremost is André Perret, who produces wines that invariably display the quintessential qualities that make this wine so sought after. André Perret's Coteau de Chery brilliantly combines powers, richness and fascinating aromatic complexity, with a delicious and original bouquets of herbs and violets." (James Turnbull)
Condrieu “Chéry”, with its golden yellow colour,
balances elegance with strength.
Its strong nature comes from the exceptional exposure
of the hillside and the age of the vine stocks.
Its bouquet of citrus fruits, violet and peach-apricot flavours gives it a rich and full “bouche”.
