The Guy Bernard Estate is a great estate that is still unknown by the general public. Established on the beautiful hillsides of the Côte Rôtie and Condrieu appellations, on only 6 hectares of vines, this small estate frees itself from any ostentatious style in favor of more purity, fruitiness and balance. Skillfully vinified, the wines have a brilliant balance between finesse and power.
