Condrieu Les Chaillées De L'enfer Vernay Condrieu, 2007

Georges Vernay’s Condrieu Les Chaillées de l’Enfer is a distinctive, age-worthy expression of Viognier from one of the appellation’s most respected producers. The 2007 vintage offers the chance to enjoy this celebrated Rhône white with the added complexity that comes from bottle age.

Tasting Notes
Viognier from Condrieu is known for its generous, perfumed character, often showing apricot, peach and floral aromas with hints of spice. With maturity, this 2007 may also reveal honeyed, nutty or savoury notes, alongside a rounded palate and lingering finish; the exact profile will depend on how the bottle has been stored. At this age, it is best approached as a mature wine rather than one to cellar for many more years. Enjoy it soon after opening, and check its development in the glass.

Production
Condrieu’s steep, terraced slopes are largely granite, with vines rooted in thin, free-draining soils that suit Viognier. Harvesting on these challenging slopes is typically done by hand. Les Chaillées de l’Enfer is made in a style that balances Viognier’s naturally expressive fruit with texture and structure; detailed production information for the 2007 vintage is not available.

Food & Serving
Pair with roast poultry, lobster, scallops or creamy fish dishes, or try it with mildly spiced cuisine and soft, aromatic cheeses. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. Given its age, avoid prolonged decanting: open carefully and taste first, allowing it a little time in the glass if it seems closed.

Producer
Georges Vernay played a central role in establishing Condrieu’s reputation and helping preserve its Viognier vineyards when the appellation was at risk of decline. The family estate has since become a benchmark Rhône producer, particularly for its expressive Condrieu wines. Its steep-slope vineyards and work with Viognier have helped define the character of the region.
