Condrieu Coteau de Vernon 2022 - Georges Vernay
Direct from the estate - Cuvée signed Christine Vernay - Organic wine
Coteau de Vernon - The quintessence of Condrieu
A wine of great complexity and extreme elegance, Coteau de Vernon embodies one of the finest expressions of the subtlety of Viognier. This exceptional Condrieu, the heart of the appellation and the Domaine, reveals, depending on the vintage, aromas of yellow fruit, fresh or candied citrus, and exotic fruit, sublimated by delicate bitter notes.
Its balance is always perfect, marked by a beautiful freshness, vegetal and minty touches, nuances of white flowers and remarkable acidity. Noble, taut, straightforward and precise, this exuberant wine expresses all the purity of its terroir: an essential reference in the Condrieu appellation.
