Condrieu, Coteau de Vernon, Domaine Georges Vernay, 75cl

The Vernay name is synonymous with quality. Christine Vernay's father Georges was instrumental in keeping the Condrieu appellation from extinction in the 1960s – when there were only 8 hectares left under vine. The Vernay’s have worked tirelessly to promote Viognier and are largely responsible for its current renaissance and newfound global popularity. Christine Vernay took over winemaking responsibilities here in 1997 and is assisted in the management of the estate by her husband Paul Amsellem.

A heady bouquet of wild flowers and white orchard fruit, and a complex palate of peaches, nuts, figs and minerals with an ethereal dry finish – the wine exhibits power and finesse in equal measure. A white of true terroir for decanting and sipping reverently over the course of an evening.
