The reputation — the story that sells at the table
André Perret's Chéry is considered by Wine Advocate (Neal Martin) and Jancis Robinson to be a Condrieu benchmark alongside Vernay's Coteau de Vernon. Consistently scoring 93-96, the wine demonstrates that Condrieu can achieve complexity alongside its celebrated aromatic power. The estate is considered essential for any serious Rhône collection.
Practice
André Perret is one of Condrieu's most important producers — holding vines on both the principal Chéry hillside and the grand cru Côteau de Chéry. His 8-hectare estate is farmed with meticulous attention to old granite-terraced vines: his oldest Viognier vines are 50+ years. The Chéry single-vineyard wine is the estate's reference: whole-cluster pressed, fermented in old 500L demi-muids with indigenous yeasts, aged without malolactic fermentation to preserve the Viognier's extraordinary aromatic precision. The result is benchmark Condrieu: rich but fresh.
