Château-Grillet

The vineyard and estate of Château‑Grillet have deep historical roots and have been owned for centuries by local families. The area was granted appellation d'origine contrôlée status on 8 December 1936. In June 2011 the property was acquired by the Artémis Domaines group. In recent years the production regulations and technical management have been updated, while preserving its monopole status and the very limited production typical of the appellation.

The production aims to express the distinctive character of the small terroir: vinifying Viognier to emphasize the balance between aromatic richness and minerality, with careful vineyard management on steep slopes and cellar practices focused on quality rather than quantity.

Located on the right bank of the Rhône, immediately south of the Condrieu appellation, the Château‑Grillet area occupies steep, predominantly granitic terrain between the communes of Saint‑Michel‑sur‑Rhône and Vérin in the Loire department. The vineyard faces mainly south and is terraced and sheltered by the river.
