Condrieu 2019 - Pierre Gaillard
AOP Condrieu
Delicate, with complex floral and fruity aromas. Made from the granite terraces of the Côte Bellay and Boissey plots, it faithfully expresses the richness and finesse of this terroir.
TERROIR
Area: 2 ha.
Communes: Chavanay, Malleval (Loire).
Grape Variety: 100% Viognier.
Soil: light granite sands facing south.
Yields: 30 hl/ha. The slopes of the Côte Bellay and Boissey plots are made up of light granite soil in decomposition. Facing south, they offer an environment where Viognier, grown to obtain low yields, expresses the best of its aromatic potential.
VINIFICATION
Manual harvesting of grapes at good maturity. Alcoholic fermentation in barrels, temperature controlled at 15-18°C. Malolactic fermentation in barrels. Viognier gives rich and very aromatic wines, fermentations are done in barrels which give the right oxygenation to develop the aromas without weighing them down. The number of new barrels is limited so that the wood does not dominate the wines. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in barrels in order to blend the wine together.
