Draped in a brilliant pale yellow color, Condrieu La Berne reveals notes of flowers and white fruits, where old vines also lend mineral nuances and freshness and balance. A smooth, delicate white, unlike any other... A fine cuvée to discover!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2015 guide) 16/20 (vintage 2012) (Very good wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
The estate is located in Chavanay, in the hamlet of La Ribaudy, birthplace of the Faury family. Lionel Faury cultivates 18 hectares of Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Côte-Rôtie and Collines rhodaniennes IGP appellations. We've particularly enjoyed the Saint-Josephs in recent vintages, which prove that the northern part of the appellation has real potential.
