Les Pieds de Samson 2023 - Georges Vernay
Christine et Georges Vernay
More complex than it seems, the Pied de Samson, which owes its name to the giant Samson who, by bending down to drink the water from the Rhône, would have left his mark not far from the estate, presents Viognier in its original expression: fruit, delicacy, freshness. Blindly, it is often believed to be Condrieu; on the palate, it is a pure moment of pleasure!
