"A deep, persistent cuvée that reveals all the charms of a great Syrah terroir".
"A textured, broad and layered Cote-Rotie, composed of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, with aromas of dark berries, roasted meat, dried thyme and warm spices. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins. Broad and ample, with plenty of density and texture, it nevertheless remains elegant and graceful. Harmonious, with verve and assurance. Well-balanced and concentrated, with a velvety texture in the center and a long finish." (James Suckling 2024)

About the domain :
Nestled in a small cul-de-sac in the heart of the village of Condrieu, Domaine Niero has just nine hectares of vines: four in Condrieu, two in Côte Rôtie, just over one in Saint-Joseph and just under one in Crozes-Hermitage. There's also around a hectare devoted to the Collines Rhodaniennes IGP, both Syrah and Viognier. Although the clean, modern approach is undeniable, the wines are full of character and expressive of their different terroirs.

About the domain :
Since 2004, Rémi has been at the helm of this family-run estate, which boasts a fine range of terroirs in Condrieu, with 4 hectares divided into six parcels. He also produces several Côte-Rôtie cuvées from the Viallière and Bassenon terroirs, as well as a Saint-Joseph cuvée, Bois Prieur, and another in Crozes-Hermitage. The wines are serious, rather classic, with occasional ageing that marks them a little during their youth.
