Product information "Condrieu « Les Chaillets » 2021"

the best and oldest vines on the estate, on south/southeast-facing terraces overlooking Chavanay. “Les Chaillets” is not a district but the local name for terraces.

Soil

Muscovite-rich granit

Grape variety 

Viognier

Viticulture

High-density planting (8,000-10,000 vines per hectare). No insecticides or pesticides, few treatments (depending on weather), small amount of organic-only fertiliser, with respect of soil and vine balance. Vigour and yield control, leaf-thinning and green harvesting to promote grape maturation.

Vinification

The grapes are picked when fully ripe and handsorted. After pressing, they are alcoholic and malolactic fermented in barriques with native yeasts.

Maturing

9 months in barriques, on the lees, no racking, regular stirring.

Tasting notes

A rich, refined and complex wine. A nose of dried yellow stone fruits, violets and honey. Harmonious, well-bred style on the palate, with good volume. A pure long finish, underlaid by the terroir’s minerality.

Ageing 

Drink for the primary aromas during 3-4 years, but also for the secondary aromas from 6-10 years.

Food Pairing

Shellfish and delicate fish (langoustine with lemon and fresh sage).
