The Cornas grapes come from a friend of Aurélien’s in Cornas, who has agreed to swap some of his Cornas grapes for Aurélien’s Condrieu grapes.

Aurélien Chatagnier created his own domaine in 2002, when he was just in his early 20s, piecing together his vineyards parcel by parcel over the next decade. The vineyards at the domaine are predominantly granite, and very steep. The house style leans towards a lean, pure style of winemaking, and shows the reason why some of the best producers in the area decided to pass the torch over to Aurelien as one of the best young winemakers in the region.
