The Condrieu Les Éguets 2024 by Jean-Michel Gérin perfectly embodies the spirit of this iconic appellation in the northern Rhône Valley. Crafted exclusively from Viognier, this wine comes from steep, stony parcels with a south-eastern exposure, where the vines sink deep into granite and schist soils.
The 2024 vintage, marked by a generous spring followed by a luminous summer without excessive heat, allowed for a slow and complete ripening of the grapes, ensuring both aromatic intensity and freshness.
Like all the wines of the house, this wine perfectly reflects its terroir and ranks among the essential references of the great whites of the Rhone Valley.
Tasting of the 2024 vintage
In the glass, the golden hue with silver highlights reveals a wine of great aromatic density.
The nose is a festival of floral and fruity scents: acacia blossom, violet, followed by white peach, fresh apricot, and a touch of candied orange peel. With aeration, delicate hints of honey, roasted almond, and a fine mineral undertone—signature of its granite terroir—emerge.
On the palate, the attack is ample and enveloping, carried by a silky texture that underlines the natural richness of Viognier. The mid-palate reveals fine complexity: juicy yellow fruits, exotic notes of mango and lychee, and a delicate touch of sweet spices. The balance between roundness and tension is remarkable, thanks to a lively freshness that stretches the finish. Long and persistent, the aftertaste lingers with ripe fruit and elegant floral notes.
Coming from a family of winemakers installed on the Côte Rôtie for 6 generations, Jean Michel Gérin is one of the great Rhone wines that we are proud to distribute on 12bouteilles.com. Its Roasted Ribs, Saint Joseph's and Condrieu are all some of the most precise and chiselled cuvées in the Rhône Valley.
Le Conseil de 12bouteilles : it is probably one of the most beautiful parcel wine in Condrieu, a vintage of goldsmith signed Jean Michel Gerin.
Les Éguets 2024 stands out as a great Condrieu, both generous and finely chiseled, able to pair beautifully with creamy poultry dishes or a selection of mature cheeses, and with a promising aging potential of 5 to 7 years.
