Condrieu "La Loye" 2022 - Domaine Gérin 75cl

Domaine Gérin's Condrieu "La Loye" 2022 is distinguished by its exceptional terroir, where the Viognier grape variety thrives on granite hillsides. This wine is the result of hand-harvested grapes, ensuring a rigorous selection of grapes at optimal ripeness, to preserve the balance between aromatic intensity and freshness.

Made from 100% Viognier, this vintage benefits from careful vinification, with fermentation on lees at a controlled temperature of 15°C. The wine is aged in fine-grained oak barrels for 7 to 8 months, of which only 10% are new barrels, which brings complexity and richness without overpowering the natural aromas of the grape.

Upon tasting, "La Loye" reveals a brilliant golden yellow color. The nose is seductive and complex, revealing aromas of exotic fruits, apricots, and white flowers, inviting you to discover its richness. On the palate, the wine expresses notes of brioche and ripe fruits, such as white peach and apricot, while retaining a beautiful minerality and a long, elegant finish.

For an optimal experience, this Condrieu "La Loye" is recommended for 1 to 5 years of age, paired with refined dishes such as fish in sauce, white meats, or soft cheeses. Serving at a temperature of 12°C will allow all its aromatic nuances to shine through.
