THE ESSENCE OF THE WINE
This Condrieu is an aromatic, full-bodied, and elegant wine, emblematic of Viognier in its most noble expression. It captivates with the richness of its bouquet, its generous palate, and its balance between richness and freshness.
It is a wine of character—refined and expressive—ideal for gastronomy and special occasions. Enjoy it young for its aromatic brilliance, or after a few years for added complexity.
Tasting
Formerly known as “White Wine of Côte-Rôtie,” Condrieu comes from the borders of the Ardèche, Rhône, and Loire departments, on the right bank of the Rhône, near Vienne.
Its vineyard, like that of Côte-Rôtie, is characterized by extremely steep slopes—reaching nearly 50 degrees—which make vine cultivation particularly hazardous. Condrieu is the birthplace of the Viognier grape variety, which stands out as the sole grape used in this appellation.
Nose : The nose is dominated by apricot and peach, accompanied by violet—a typical aroma of the appellation. Notes of honey, quince, and a touch of minerality complete the bouquet.
Palate : harmonious, marked by a lovely richness. The finish is delicately brioche-like, long, and elegant.
Advice from the sommelier : Best served around 10-12°C.
Grape varieties : 100% Viognier
Potential of ageing : Can keep 5 years.
This Condrieu is best enjoyed in its youth for its aromatic brilliance and develops favorably over time.
Terroir : Its vineyard, like that of Côte-Rôtie, is characterized by extremely steep slopes—reaching nearly 50 degrees—making vine cultivation particularly demanding.
Condrieu is the birthplace of Viognier, the sole grape of the appellation, which expresses itself here with intensity and finesse.
Vinification : Careful vinification aimed at preserving the aromatic expression of Viognier and the balance between richness and freshness.
(Gentle pressing, fermentation in tanks, respecting the character of the grape variety)
