Domaine Georges Vernay : Condrieu "Les Terrasses de l'Empire" 2023
Rhone Valley - Condrieu - White Wine -With this 2023 vintage, Domaine Georges Vernay confirms its superstar status in the Condrieu appellation, a magical terroir in the northern Rhône Valley.
"Les Terrasses de l'Empire" is made from 100% Viognier grapes from vines averaging 35 years old. Certified organic (Ecocert) and run according to biodynamic practices, the vineyard is planted on granitic biotite soil where mechanisation is impossible. The hand-picked, perfectly ripe grapes are pressed as whole bunches, then the must is cold-settled and fermented on fine lees. The wine is aged for 10 months in truncated wooden vats and barrels, giving it its finesse and fruity character.
Tasting notes :
Colour: bright pale yellow with green highlights, a sign of freshness.
Nose: intensely fruity, with aromas of white peach, apricot stone and almond, underlined by subtle floral notes.
Palate: elegant and harmonious, with the freshness and roundness typical of Viognier.
Les Terrasses de l'Empire’ is an elegant cuvée that perfectly illustrates the Georges Vernay style: a pure expression of the quintessence of Viognier, combining freshness and balance. Thanks to this steep terroir and meticulous winemaking, each vintage impresses with its precision and digestibility.
12bouteilles advice: A splendid Condrieu to accompany fish in sauce, shellfish or poultry in cream sauce. We recommend serving it slightly chilled, between 10 and 12°C, and it can be cellared for 6 to 8 years to develop even more complexity!
