The wine region of Condrieu
Mythical northern Rhône cru on the right bank (south of Vienne): exclusive signature Viognier in white — golden robe and opulent signature profile with delicate aromas of peach, apricot, dried fruits, white flowers and a touch of anise and melon, ample, rich, Chardonnay-like textured palate, dry yet with aromas suggesting sweetness. AOC, ~120 ha on south-facing granite terraces at the foot of Pilat, low-yielding clones with small berries, drink young.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Effervescent
Any wine loaded with CO2 (carbon dioxide), which is revealed in the form of bubbles, reinforcing the freshness effect in the mouth. This gas production is the result of what is called the second fermentation in the bottle. It occurs in champagnes and sparkling wines such as crémants.
