Understanding Domaine Georges Vernay, Condrieu, Coteau de Vernon, Rhone
The vine age combined with the challenging terrain results in limited yields of high-quality grapes. This contributes to the wine's intense aromatics and rich, concentrated flavours. The emphasis is on terroir and varietal expression. Grapes undergo careful sorting and fermentation in a controlled environment, often in stainless steel tanks, to preserve the delicate floral and fruit characteristics of the Viognier. It sees some lees, adding texture and complexity. The wine matures over 15 months in a combination of oak vessels. Condrieu Coteau Vernon displays ripe stone fruit, white florals and spice. This wine is full-bodied and luscious, balanced by a refreshing acidity and a minerality that adds to its elegance. The finish is long and satisfying. This white wine has the potential to develop further complexity with careful cellaring.
