WINES
Eighth generation Nicolas is very humble by nature and very humble in his pricing. Located on the Northern tip of the Saint Joseph appellation and on the border of Condrieu, Nicolas has been working his 6 hectare estate organically since 1991.
His wines are very clear expressions of his terroir and appellations and offer excellent value for by-the-glass references or will slot in as very true wines at the top of a Northern Rhône sub-section.
