Robert Niero
Rémi Niero recently took over the position as head of the vineyard from his father Robert, who, from Rémi’s early age, passed onto him his entire expertise and devotion for wine growing. Robert Niero had initially acquired a small vineyard from his father-in-law, Jean Pinchon, in 1985. Robert planted further vines and laboured to expand the estate and increase its quality. His efforts have been rewarded in the form of authentic and naturally balanced wines which are increasingly attracting top scores and international acclaim.
Developed through generations by Jean, Robert and Rémi, the domaine is now present in the appellations of Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie and Saint-Joseph, all of which now produce celebrated wines issued from the greatest AOPs (Appellation d’Origine Protégée) of the Rhône Valley.

From 70-year-old vines, the 2016 Condrieu Chéry is a bit more concentrated than Niero's Les Ravines bottling, but otherwise, it's similar in its aromas of crushed stone and pineapple. Like the other wines at this estate, it's aged 12 months in a mix of stainless steel (60%) and oak barrels (40%), giving it a rich, slightly oily texture. It's harmonious and long, with pineapple and melon flavors giving way to gingery spice on the finish.HK$2,150.00
