Condrieu 2023 Domaine Vincent et Alexandre Cluzel

Condrieu 2023

花崗岩の急斜面が生む、スミレとバラ。

急斜面の花崗岩土壌で育ったヴィオニエを丁寧に手摘みし、低温発酵で繊細な風味を引き出しました。淡い黄金色を帯びた美しい黄色。白い花と熟した白桃の香りが最初に立ち上り、続いてスミレやパウダリーなバラといったコンドリュー特有の香りが現れます。密度がありながら過度な緊張感はなく、ほのかなバニラが豊かさを添えます。ホタテやリ・ド・ヴォー、トリュフを使った料理とともに。

Tasting note

A beautiful yellow colour with pale golden hues. Complex and powerful, refined yet balanced. The aroma of white flowers, ripe white fruits and white peach emerges first, followed by the typical Condrieu aroma of violets and powdery rose. It has density, yet is not soft or tense, giving it a beautiful balance. The candy-like flavor of white fruits and subtle hints of vanilla enhance the richness of the wine, giving it a voluminous, well-structured taste.

Food pairing

Scallops, veal thymus and truffles

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation

The vineyards are located in the villages of Malleval, Chavanay and Vérin, mostly terraced with a south or southeasterly exposure, and the soils are mainly granitic.
To optimise yield and ripeness, the grapes are green harvested and hand defoliated.

brewing

All brewing is done by hand-picking the grapes, followed by cold pressing and racking.
Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation are carried out using natural yeasts at a low temperature of 15℃ in the barrels, followed by 9 months of barrel aging.
