Condrieu Coteau De Vernon Vernay Condrieu, 2007

Condrieu Coteau de Vernon by Georges Vernay is one of the benchmark expressions of Viognier from the Northern Rhône, coming from a celebrated single vineyard on steep granite terraces. The 2007 vintage captures the richness and perfume that have made this wine a reference point for lovers of elegant, terroir-driven white wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a luminous golden hue with an inviting, slightly waxy richness. The nose is intensely aromatic, with apricot, peach, honeysuckle, violet, and citrus peel, often joined by subtle spice and mineral notes from the granite soils. On the palate, it is usually full-bodied and silky, balancing ripe stone fruit and floral depth with refreshing acidity and a distinct savory edge. With bottle age, Coteau de Vernon can develop added complexity, bringing honeyed notes, dried flowers, and truffle-like nuances while retaining its graceful structure.

Production
Coteau de Vernon comes from one of Condrieu’s most prized single vineyards, planted on extremely steep terraces of decomposed granite that lend the wine both perfume and tension. The site’s exposure and poor soils encourage low yields and concentrated fruit, while careful harvesting by hand is essential on these slopes. Vinification is typically focused on preserving aromatics and texture, with the wine aged to build depth without overpowering the natural character of Viognier.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine with rich seafood such as lobster, scallops, or turbot, as well as roast chicken, creamy sauces, asparagus, or mild Asian dishes with a little spice. It is best enjoyed slightly chilled, around 10–12°C, and a short decant can help open the wine if it has been cellared for several years.

Producer
