The Condrieu "Les Caillets" produced by brothers Benjamin and David Duclaux represents the pinnacle of the Condrieu appellation, renowned for its deeply aromatic white wines derived from the Viognier grape variety. Located in the northern part of the Rhone Valley, the unique terroir of this area imparts distinctive characteristics to the wine.
"Les Caillets" is distinguished by its brilliant golden yellow color and complex bouquet where notes of apricot, white peach, and subtle hints of violet emerge. On the palate, the wine is perfectly balanced, with a wonderful acidic freshness that complements its rich structure. The sensations of ripe fruit blend with hints of sweet spices and a touch of minerality, persisting in a long and satisfying finish.
Ideal for accompanying rich fish dishes like baked salmon or regional cheese specialties, "Les Caillets" is a true example of how Viognier can best express itself thanks to the careful cultivation methods and expert winemaking practiced by the Duclaux. A rare gem for lovers of high-quality white wines.

Wines of Rhone Valley
The Rhone wine region is situation in the south of France in the Rhone Valley. The region is split into north and south with distinctively different winemaking styles. In the north, the main grape used is Syrah and is sometimes blended with white varietals. In the south however, reds are a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. You may be familiar with this sort of blend; in Australia it is labelled GSM.
Wines are produced under various Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) designations. The most prestigious of which is Chateauneuf-du-Pape. You may also have heard of other AOC names such as Gigondas, Hermitage, Lirac, St Joseph. Wines coming from these and other AOCs are all on the higher end of the market.
On the value end we have wines produced in Cotes-du-Rhone AOC. Cotes-du-Rhone often refers to wines made in the Rhone Valley that do not fall under any other AOC, often from the flatter areas around Southern Rhone. However, it also does include the fringes of well-respected northern appellations as well. In terms of volume, a majority of Rhone wine falls under the Cotes-du-Rhone AOC and it offers some of the best value in France and even some first-rate and age-worthy reds.
Full-bodied and flavourful white wine blends are also made in the region. These are typically a combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.
