Xavier Gérard

Northern Rhône Syrah from Condrieu's most demanding slopes.

Xavier Gérard produces Syrah from the steep, granite-terraced slopes of Condrieu in the Northern Rhône. The region's continental climate and schist-rich soils yield wines of mineral precision and dark fruit intensity. The flagship Côte-Rôtie 'La Landonne' demonstrates the appellation's signature structure—a wine of depth and aging potential. The standard Côte-Rôtie offers similar varietal character with slightly broader appeal, while Le Blanchard Saint-Joseph extends the portfolio across the broader Northern Rhône. All three have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The winery's focus remains on Syrah's expression across these prestigious northern terroirs, where old-vine fruit and meticulous viticulture shape wines of considerable complexity.
