Domaine Georges Vernay Condrieu Les Terrasses de l'Empire 2019
/ #59953399
From the slopes of the northern Rhône comes this version of Condrieu, produced by Georges Vernay – one of the region’s most renowned names. The wine is made entirely from Viognier and is known for its balanced style, where freshness and aromatic complexity are emphasized over heavy extraction or barrel aging. Les Terrasses de l’Empire is often made with short contact with lees and only discreet use of barrel, allowing space for the grape’s natural expression: notes of peach, apricot, white flowers and slightly spicy minerality.
2019 was generally a warm and dry year in the Rhône, which has given the white wines good maturity without losing acidity. Many consider 2019 to be a particularly successful year for Viognier in Condrieu, where balance and concentration go hand in hand. The aging potential is on the younger end – best within 3-6 years, depending on taste preference.
