Winemaker’s notes
Tasting note
Brilliant straw yellow with greenish highlights. Condrieu La Galopine has an exceptionally intense, complex bouquet of violet, apricot, peach, honey and dried fruit. Generously aromatic, supple and powerful on the palate, with rich, intense flavours and a long finish marked by delicate notes of exotic fruit.

- History
- The historic terroir of Condrieu lies on the west bank of the Rhône and nearly fell into oblivion after the Second World War. Today, Viognier finds its natural home here on steep terraces overlooking the majestic river. The high-altitude vineyards have poor, acidic granite soils, formed over centuries, that offer challenging conditions for the vines. Despite naturally low yields, the grapes develop remarkable aromatic concentration, combining delicate restraint with impressive expressiveness.
