But at the same time sort of Viognier is very capricious and gives little harvest, as it is grown on hard slopes that require manual processing. Vineyards farms are located in the village of Condrieu in the northern part of the Rhone valley, which is known for its excellent white wines. Crop harvested at the optimum degree of ripeness.
Wine Kondriё "vertigo" combines the aromas of flowers, citrus, honey and cream. Wine storage capacity is ten years.
Three generations of the family Kyuyerona Yves (Yves Cuilleron) produced wine from both father and mother. They owned vineyards on prironskih terraces constructed by the Romans. In 1920, Yves grandfather on the paternal side, Claude Kyuyeron, established a farm. By 1947 he began to sell his wine in bottles. In 1960, Uncle Yves Antoine Kyuyeron becomes manager of the company. Yves graduated from one of the best schools in France and oenological trained winemakers in the Rhone.

In the same year, Yves gets 3.5 ha of land in Condrieu and Saint Joseph's, and in 1989 in Cote Rotie. When Antoine Kyuyeron retired parents Willow going to sell land, but Eve did not hesitate for a second, took over management of the company. In 1992 Verlё built a new cellar, the expansion of which is produced in 1999. The main modernization took place in 2007, have been redesigned building for production, endurance and wine storage.

To be sure in the creation of unique wines, Yves rejected all the ideas and refused to be copied by other manufacturers. From the outset, it keeps track of all stages of production - from planting grapes to bottling wine in the bottle.
