Tasting Note

This Condrieu is a richly textured and opulent expression of Viognier, offering a generous, full-bodied mouthfeel that is both enveloping and luxurious. The nose bursts with notes of candied citrus peel, such as orange and lemon zest, layered with acacia honey and a lush medley of exotic fruits like mango, papaya, and lychee. On the palate, its natural richness is finely balanced by a subtle mineral freshness and hints of ginger spice and white florals, lending complexity and lift. The finish is long, silky, and expressive, with lingering flavours of ripe stone fruits, warm citrus, and a touch of vanilla from careful oak ageing. A textbook Condrieu that seduces with both power and finesse.

Promising an amalgamation of elegance, complexity, and longevity, their wines truly echo the essence of the terrain.

This ideology stems from the belief that wine should not just reflect the grape but also the very essence of the terroir from which they sprout.
