Condrieu

Medium

Organic

White

Verbena and ginger, with some aromas of a cellar during fermentation. It’s fairly full-bodied and finishes very dry. An atypical, naked style of Condrieu without the sweet fruitiness of so many. A touch of apple-skin tannin; ripe lemon with lemon-skin bitters. This won't be for everyone as it's very unusual for the appellation, but it has great energy and tension. The drinking window is very conservative. From massale Viognier d'Orée planted in 1986 in lieu-dit Le Tinal; aged in large old wooden barrels and tanks; no fining, filtration or additions. 50cl bottle.
