Condrieu Les Chaillées De L'enfer Vernay Condrieu, 2009

A benchmark Condrieu from one of the appellation’s most respected names, Les Chaillées de l’Enfer captures the richness and perfume that have made Viognier from the northern Rhône so sought after. From the 2009 vintage, it offers a rare combination of opulence, precision, and old-vine character that wine lovers prize in great Condrieu.

Tasting Notes
Typically showing a luminous golden hue with age, this Condrieu develops layers of ripe stone fruit, apricot, peach, and pear, lifted by floral notes of honeysuckle, acacia, and a subtle mineral edge. With bottle age, the wine can gain additional depth, revealing honeyed nuances, dried flowers, and a silky, rounded texture while retaining freshness and definition on the palate.

Production
Produced in Condrieu in the northern Rhône, this wine comes from steep, granitic terroirs that are ideally suited to Viognier and help preserve tension and aromatic intensity. The vineyard work is labor-intensive due to the dramatic slopes, and the wine is typically harvested by hand and vinified with care to emphasize purity, texture, and the expressive character of the site.

Food & Serving
Best served slightly chilled, around 10–12°C, this wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, lobster, scallops, rich poultry dishes, creamy sauces, and Asian cuisine with gentle spice. Decanting is not essential, but older bottles may benefit from a short aeration to fully раскры its aromatic complexity.

Producer
Domaine Georges Vernay is one of Condrieu’s iconic producers and played a major role in reviving the reputation of Viognier and the appellation itself. Widely respected for its precision and site expression, the estate has earned a place among the Rhône Valley’s most influential white wine producers.
