Grape: 100% Viognier. Organic farming.
Tasting notes:The 2021 Domaine Georges Vernay Condrieu "Coteau de Vernon" offers a complex and elegant tasting experience, with notes of stone fruits, a hint of liquorice, and balanced oak flavors. The wine's acidity, combined with its opulent fruit profile, creates a long and lingering finish.
Georges Vernay is known as the "King of Condrieu" and was responsible for the growth and worldwide recognition of this small appellation during the 1950s. His estate covers 16 hectares of vineyards, 3 of which are in the Côte Rôtie appellation. The steep and uneven vineyards make mechanical labour impossible. The vines are manually propagated without the use of residual herbicide or insecticide.
Georges' daughter, Christine, returned to her roots with Paul Anselem, her Parisian husband, and has looked after the winemaking since 1997, gaining worldwide recognition for her Côte Rôtie wines.
