Condrieu Rieu de Vernon 2023 Domaine Julien Pilon

Condrieu - Lieu-dit Vernon 2023

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。

Tasting note

A brilliant pale gold color, it offers aromas of apricot, white peach, and acacia flowers, with subtle hints of honey and vanilla. When you put it in your mouth, a smooth and rich texture spreads, with an exquisite harmony of concentrated fruitiness and minerality. The long-lasting finish leaves a hint of spice and a fragrant aroma from the oak. This is a bottle that allows you to experience the essence of elegant and well-balanced Viognier.

Winemaking & technical data

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.
