Vernon's estate

GEORGES VERNAY
created the family business with 1.5 hectares of AOC Condrieu " Coteau du Vernon " vineyards.

Towards the end of the 40's, GeorgesVernay became one of the most ardent defenders and saviours of the Appellation, then about to disappear.

   
 
 
 
 
     
Christine Vernay

Today, the vinification is assured by his children Luc and Christine VERNAY and the estate extends over 16 hectares :

- 7 hectares in the appellation Condrieu, of which 3 hectares are old vines producing 2 prestigious vintages matured in barrels: 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.

- 3 hectares of Côte Rotie
- 1,5 hectares of Saint Joseph
- 5 hectares of local wine Syrah and Viognier

Whatever the classification, the wines are always delicious and of the highest quality.
