South of Lyon, the Rhône department shelters the valley's northern cradle: Côte-Rôtie and its vertiginous Ampuis terraces, Condrieu and its historic viognier. A wine estate for sale in the Rhône within these appellations belongs to the most valued transactions of the whole Rhône.
This page covers the department's Rhône-valley side; Beaujolais, which occupies its north, has its own analysis. In between, the Coteaux du Lyonnais complete the offer at entry values.
On the schists of the Côte Brune and the granites of the Côte Blonde, every are trades at levels comparable to Burgundy's grands crus: available land is minute and public transfers exceptional. Condrieu follows the same scarcity logic, carried by the world fame of original viognier.
The Coteaux du Lyonnais, between Brindas and L'Arbresle, offer the accessible alternative: gamay and chardonnay at Lyon's gates, with a proximity outlet few vineyards can claim.
