100% Viognier - Granitique soils
Aged for eight months
30% in new oak - 40% in one year old barrels – 30% in two years old barrels.
The cool temperatures of 2010 have been perfect for Condrieu. When the Viognier ripes
slowly, it gives solid wines, fresh, complex and balanced. This is not a particularly easy
exercise to make a mineral and balanced Condrieu. 2010 is an exceptional vintage. Especially
in our terroir of « Côte Bellay » in Malleval which is the best micro-climate of
Condrieu. It was several years we hadn’t had a Condrieu of this level ! Such a beauty.. It
has to be said that it will be a great Condrieu to keep. This wine will work very well with
truffles, goat cheeses (Banon), or a Roquefort soup.
Candied grapefruit, mango, liquorish, violet
The wine will be bottled in June 2011, after the malolactic fermentation, with a very soft
filtration.
