What it pairs with

  • Pan-seared foie gras
    The appellation's classic pairing; the wine's honey and stone fruit lift foie gras.
  • Crab bisque with cream
    The wine's aromatic intensity and creaminess are amplified by rich shellfish soup.
  • Roasted white asparagus with truffle oil
    Coteau Chery's depth and floral character elevate asparagus and truffle.

History

Andre Perret founded his domaine in 1984 specifically to work the Coteau Chery, one of Condrieu's historic premier sites. The wine is from granite terraces above Chavanay, considered one of the finest Viognier positions in the appellation.
