Rhone Valley Guy Bernard

Our committee's review

Domaine Guy Bernard is a hidden gem in the Rhône Valley. Situated on the picturesque slopes of Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu, this small 6-hectare estate prioritizes purity, fruit-driven aromas, and balance over ostentation. Skillfully crafted, the wines reveal a radiant texture where finesse consistently triumphs over power.

A winning bet with this remarkable duo of Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu, rated 94-95/100 and 93-94/100 respectively by our Selection Committee. At this price, it’s simply exceptional!

The 2023 White Condrieu Bassenon is a textbook example of Viognier, with a pure and delicate nose revealing aromas of peach skin and bergamot at perfect ripeness, supported by subtle, well-integrated aging. The palate delivers impressive concentration, a clean, focused structure, and excellent persistence, with a hint of oak that will continue to soften and meld beautifully over time. Patience is key—this wine will show its full potential by next spring. Awarded 93-94/100 by the Selection Committee.

The 2022 Red Côte-Rôtie Coteau de Bassenon showcases the captivating aromas of Syrah, blending black fruit, spices, and subtle smoky notes with remarkable purity. The oak presence complements the fresh, precise aromas on the nose without overpowering them. The palate reveals exceptional density, with a tightly knit core supported by oak that promises to integrate harmoniously over time. This is a wine of outstanding freshness and minerality, with a structure built for aging 10 years or more. Awarded 94-95/100 by the Selection Committee.

An estate still offering accessible wines from the prestigious northern Rhône Valley appellations. At this price point, it’s truly exceptional!
