Why it matters
The producer
Domaine André Perret covers 13 hectares across Condrieu and Saint-Joseph, two appellations that divide the range by place and colour. Condrieu supplies the estate's historical focus; Saint-Joseph brings the red side through Les Grisières.
Verlieu-Chavanay is the estate's home, and the labels keep that geography legible. Condrieu locates the estate's core wines, Côteau de Chéry narrows one bottle to a named parcel, and Saint-Joseph places Les Grisières in the red Rhône range. The grape variety is not confirmed for these wines, so place, colour and bottle name carry the first information.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Verlieu-Chavanay places the domaine in the Rhône, with Condrieu and Saint-Joseph providing the organising principle for the wines. Condrieu is the historic centre, and Côteau de Chéry adds a specific parcel to that broader appellation designation.
Saint-Joseph changes the label's direction. Les Grisières is a red wine from the appellation, so the range moves from a Condrieu site story to a Saint-Joseph bottle with a different colour and regional address. The two names make the range readable before any tasting note enters the conversation.
In the cellar
Vineyards and cellar
Perret's work is spread across 13 hectares, with Condrieu and Saint-Joseph as the two confirmed vineyard addresses. Within that area, Côteau de Chéry is separated by parcel name, while Les Grisières is separated by its Saint-Joseph appellation and red style. One bottle points to a particular Condrieu site; the other points to a red wine within the wider Saint-Joseph range.
The descriptions do not attach a farming certification, individual yield, barrel type or ageing duration to these wines. The bottles therefore carry their main distinctions through appellation, parcel and colour, with the named site and cuvée doing the explanatory work.
Wines to know
The range in view
The range has three useful markers. Condrieu is the estate's historical appellation wine, and its role introduces the producer's home territory. Côteau de Chéry is the more specific Condrieu bottle: a named parcel, a grand cru designation and the estate's strongest site marker. Les Grisières is the red Saint-Joseph, a separate colour and appellation position that has been singled out as one of the stars of Saint-Joseph.
The confirmed wine cues are concrete: Condrieu appellation, named parcel, distinctive soil composition, grand cru standing, red Saint-Joseph and the Les Grisières bottle. Aroma, acidity, body, tannin, oak, sweetness and finish have not been established for these wines, so the range should be approached through its appellation and site divisions first.
