From the 2011 vintage, the technical team decided on an even stricter selection for the wines going into the Château-Grillet blend. Analysis and comparative tasting of the different parcels showed that certain wines had not yet achieved the high level required for Château-Grillet. Nevertheless, this allowed them to create an excellent Côtes-du-Rhône, made entirely from Viognier, which has much to offer with very good fruit and plenty of charm. This wine has simply been named "Côtes-du-Rhône", like the appellation it belongs to.

The elegant fruity freshness of the Côtes-du-Rhône of Château Grillet can be appreciated in its youth, the perfect accompaniment for jellied ham with parsley, seared bass fillet, a salad of grilled vegetables marinated in olive oil, or even a platter of sushi and sashimi.

Product Description

The estate was acquired in June 2011 by the Pinault family, who own several other vineyards gathered under the Artémis Domaines label which are managed by Frédéric Engerer. Château-Grillet has a rich history, illustrating perfectly the passion and devotion of many generations of men and women for this exceptional terroir. The vineyards of Condrieu and Château-Grillet were planted by the emperor Probus in the 3rd century AD, from plants brought from Dalmatia. Numerous mosaics preserved at the archaeological site in Saint-Roman-en-Gal (around 12km away) confirm its origins and one of them shows a harvest scene including grape crushing. The early development of the vineyards in this region is probably linked to the Pax Romana. This allowed the ancient Gallic tribe the Allobroges, whose territory included part of the right bank of the Rhône facing Vienne, to acquire Roman citizenship and therefore have the right to plant vines.
