Condrieu Candice - Doux 50cl

Stéphane Montez is one of the most dynamic winemakers in the Chavanay area, and in the last few years he has succeeded in becoming a must for wine lovers in the Northern Rhône. The Domaine du Monteillet is first and foremost a family story. Indeed, it is the ninth generation to exploit these lands located in Chavanay. Today, the vineyard covers 24 hectares: Syrah for the Saint-Joseph and Côte-Rotie reds, Roussanne and Marsanne for the Saint-Joseph whites, Viognier for the Condrieu.

The vines benefit from a unique micro-climate where rainfall is low, but the air is very present to ensure the ventilation of each vine. The soil is made of rolled pebbles that capture the heat of the sun and diffuse it better at night. The new cellar of the Domaine du Monteillet, with its unobstructed view of the Rhone Valley, allows Stéphane Montez to gain even more precision in the vinification of the grapes, which are harvested by hand and placed in small crates. You can order the best vintages of the Domaine du Monteillet from now on at www.lespassionnesduvin.com. The famous cuvée du Papy, which strangely reminds us of its Côte-Rotie neighbour, will enchant you with its perfume and its smoky and larded notes, produced on a very particular terroir of old Syrah vines, or the cuvée Fortis which you can marry with a choice red meat for a tasting (with moderation) pure pleasure, a Condrieu Grands Chaillées to sublimate a noble fish... So many choices for privileged moments.
