Condrieu "La Butte d'Or" 2022 - Alain Jaume 75cl

The 2022 Condrieu is an exceptional white wine, produced on granite-covered hillsides with an east- and south-east-facing exposure that promotes the optimal expression of the Viognier grape variety. Harvesting is carried out manually, allowing the grapes to be picked at moderate ripeness, thus guaranteeing a wine with intense aromas while preserving a beautiful freshness and subtle balance.

Made from 100% Viognier, this 2022 vintage is distinguished by its meticulous vinification. Fermentation takes place on lees at a temperature of 15°C for 7 to 8 months in fine-grained oak barrels, only 10% of which are new. Weekly stirring on the lees helps enrich the wine's texture and complexity.

Visually, the Condrieu displays a vibrant golden yellow color. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of exotic fruits, enhanced by slightly apricot nuances. On the palate, brioche notes blend harmoniously with delicate aromas of white peach and apricot compote. This wine embodies the typical character of a distinguished Condrieu, with a long and refined finish that leaves a beautiful impression.

To fully enjoy its qualities, it is recommended to enjoy it between 1 and 5 years, accompanying it with dishes such as fish in sauce, foie gras terrine, veal in cream sauce, mushrooms or mild cheeses. It is ideally enjoyed at a serving temperature of 12°C.
