Description: Georges Vernay created the family business with 1.5 hectares of AOC Condrieu 'Coteau du Vernon' vineyards. Towards the end of the 1940's, Georges became one of the most ardent defenders and saviours of the Appellation, then about to disappear.

Today, the vinification is assured by his children Luc and Christine Vernay and they now own 16 hectares undervine throughout the region. However, 7 hectares are in the appellation Condrieu, of which 3 hectares are old vines. This vineyard produce two prestigious vintages, called the 'Coteau de Vernon' and 'Les Chaillées de l'Enfer'.

Both vintages represent the quintessence of Condrieu's Viognier vine. These exquisite incomparable white wines with their golden colour are of great nobleness, full-bodied, unctuous and persistent.

This wine comes from 40 year-old vines grown on steep granite slopes that can only be worked manually. Maturation in cask on fine lees gives a full-flavoured wine, while retaining the fresh fruit characteristic of top Viognier.
