Condrieu Montez Domaine du Monteillet, 100% Viognier, unique expression of this grape, rich, honeyed, complex, outstanding. Domaine de Monteillet, Stephane Montez produces tiny quantities of delicious Condrieu from 1.5 hectares of vineyard. The low yields and exceptional terroir make for a wine of mouth watering concentration and flavour. Don't treat this like an inexpensive Vin de Pays that you serve straight from the fridge, to fully appreciate this nectar serve at about 13-15 degrees with some food from the region and it will have you swooning with pleasure.
Domaine du Monteillet is situated high on the plateau above the village of Chavannay. Since taking over from his father, Stephane has transformed the standard of wine-making at Domaine du Monteillet. All the harvest takes place by hand, as does the selection of the best grapes. Whilst not a natural winery, Stephane Montez creates wines of authenticity, that capture the unique terroir and character of the Northern Rhone.

Montez du Monteillet 2015 has the sharpness and floral notes of a Condrieu but unusually also has pear aromas. Excellent with foie gras. We had 2013 in a London restaurant recently which was very good as well but without the pear notes.
