2022 | Domaine Georges Vernay Condrieu "Coteau de Vernon" | Northern Rhône | France

The legendary flagship Condrieu — old-vine Viognier from the historic Coteau de Vernon, the wine that saved the appellation.

Domaine Georges Vernay is the name that rescued Condrieu and its Viognier from near-extinction, and "Coteau de Vernon" is its legendary flagship: 100% Viognier from the estate's historic parcel of old vines on steep granite terraces, farmed organically. Rich, concentrated and ageworthy, it's widely considered the single greatest expression of Condrieu.

Coteau de Vernon is the pinnacle of Condrieu. The estate that saved Viognier, historic old-vine parcel, organic → rich, concentrated, ageworthy → you're drinking Condrieu's greatest bottle.

Apricot, white peach and honeysuckle over ginger, acacia honey and a stony, mineral core with a rich, textured palate, fine tension and a long, sophisticated finish. Translation: the ultimate Condrieu — opulent stone fruit and floral aromatics over a rich, mineral palate with rare tension and depth. Concentrated and ageworthy; Viognier at the very summit.

A legendary flagship Condrieu. Exactly the bottle for lobster, foie gras, or a landmark white with a special dinner.
