Andre Perret Condrieu 'Coteau de Chery' Viognier 2022

Cellar or drinkWhite wineFrance96 points - The Wine AdvocateCork

Condrieu doesn’t just taste like Viognier — it’s the place that defines it 🌸🍑

André Perret is widely regarded as one of the benchmark producers of Condrieu, and Coteau de Chéry is his most prized site — a steep, terraced slope above the Rhône River where Viognier reaches its most perfumed and textural expression.

The 2022 vintage is beautifully generous: ripe stone fruit, apricot blossom, and honeysuckle, wrapped in silky texture with a little mineral lift from the granitic soils. There’s no oak heaviness here — just purity, finesse, and that luxurious, mouth-coating style that only top Condrieu delivers.

Why it matters: Coteau de Chéry is one of the original (and most historic) terraces of Condrieu — a true “grand cru” in everything but name. Limited yields, tiny production, and huge collector appeal.

Viognier at its most elegant, expressive and complete.

What the experts say about this wine

Perret's emblematic cuvée, the 2022 Condrieu Chery, is purer and more ethereal than Clos Chanson due to its granite and sandy soils. Evoking aromas of pear, menthol, white peach, flowers and delicate notes of spices, it's full-bodied, satiny and enveloping with a multidimensional but weightless core of fruit, racy acids and a long, precise and intensely mineral, saline and vibrant finish. Currently structured and reserved, its evolution in the bottle promises to be compelling. This is a must-have for aficionados of profound, precise and pure Rhône Valley whites.
