About the Winery

Domaine Georges Vernay

Domaine Georges Vernay is a renowned winery located in the heart of the prestigious Northern Rhône region of France. Established in 1940 by Georges Vernay, this family-owned winery has made a significant contribution to the revival and recognition of the Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie appellations.

Spanning across nearly 50 acres of vineyards, Domaine Georges Vernay is known for its meticulous cultivation and production methods. The winery focuses primarily on the cultivation of two grape varieties: Viognier and Syrah. These grape varieties are well-suited to the region's unique climatic and geological conditions, resulting in exceptional wines that embody the essence of the Northern Rhône.

One of Domaine Georges Vernay's standout wines is the Condrieu, made exclusively from the Viognier grape. These wines are characterized by their aromatic complexity, with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and delicate floral hints. They typically exhibit a remarkable balance of acidity and elegance, captivating the senses with their velvety texture and long, persistent finish.

Another highlight from Domaine Georges Vernay is their Côte-Rôtie, crafted from the Syrah grape. These wines offer a powerful yet refined expression of the Northern Rhône. They showcase intense aromas of dark fruits, spices, and a distinct minerality. On the palate, the Côte-Rôtie wines exhibit great structure, firm tannins, and a wonderful ageing potential.

The winery's commitment to tradition and quality is reflected in their sustainable farming practices and low-intervention winemaking techniques. Domaine Georges Vernay embraces a philosophy that cherishes the unique terroir of their vineyards, allowing their wines to express the essence of their origin.

Today, the legacy of Domaine Georges Vernay is carried forward by Georges' daughter, Christine Vernay, along with her husband, Paul Amsellem.
