南向きの古樹が生む、コンドリューの艶。

南向きの古樹から生まれるヴィオニエ100%。輝きのある淡いゴールドの色調に、アプリコットや白桃、アカシアの花の芳香が立ちのぼり、かすかな蜂蜜とバニラのニュアンスが寄り添います。口に含むと滑らかで豊かなテクスチャーが広がり、凝縮した果実味とミネラル感が調和。長く続く余韻には、ほのかなスパイスと樽由来の香ばしさ。ホタテやオマール海老のグリルとともに。

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation
This wine comes from a small plot in the magnificent Vernon terroir, located at the southern entrance to the village of Condrieu. The old vines are planted facing south, at a high density of 9,000 vines per hectare, and are managed using a single-stake system.
Terroir: Granitic, sandy, shallow soil

brewing
The grapes are hand-picked and fermented in barrels. After pressing, the juice is clarified.
Alcoholic fermentation at low temperatures proceeds slowly and malolactic fermentation is complete.
Aging: Aged for 18 months in 100% new oak barrels.

About this bottle

This 100% Viognier white wine is made from old, south-facing vines and is gorgeous and fruity. Aromas of apricot and white peach complemented by subtle nuances of honey and vanilla, the wine has a smooth, mellow taste. It pairs exceptionally well with seafood and chicken dishes, adding a touch of elegance to any special occasion. This luxurious wine also boasts the depth of flavor that comes from barrel aging.

About the producer

Domaine Julien Pilon

[Rhone White Rising Star]

Born and raised in the Rhône region, Julien Pilon earned his BTS (Professional Technical Diploma) in viticulture and oenology, putting his knowledge into practice under the tutelage of Yves Cuilleron, before spending over ten years studying winemaking at renowned wineries such as Mas Amiel in Roussillon, Terra Remonta in the Empordà region of Catalonia, and Jean-Pierre Villa in the Rhône.

80% of Julien's wines are white. He strives daily to create a white wine that is both rich and fresh. He wants to create a wine that is well-balanced and clear, and is currently producing wines of true flair and elegance in the Rhône region.

The wines produced are elegant and stylish, emphasizing delicacy over power, and although the vintage is still young, Julien's white wines are already ranked among the best in the Rhône region.

He began winemaking in 2010 and describes himself as a "landless winemaker," starting out as a négociant, carefully selecting the grapes needed for his wines. He began with a 1.5ha vineyard and has now grown into a domaine of approximately 5ha, consisting of both his own and rented land. In 2020, a new facility began operation and a team was formed, leading to further development.

The grapes are hand-picked and the farming is organic, demonstrating the essentiality of the terroir concept. The winemaking and aging processes are also kept as minimally invasive as possible, in order to preserve the individuality of each wine.
