Size: 75CL
Notes:
From a single plot of the hillside of "Vernon", which is one of the most famous places-dits of Condrieu. This very steep hillside, in the north of the appellation, laid out in terraces and facing south, is composed of biotite granite.
There is a complex, refined wine with a nose of dried fruits, apricots, hints of honey and candied orange peel, and notes of toasted almonds thanks to delicate oaky inflection. On the palate: balanced and fleshy, with attractive powerful length and a subtle, thirst-quenching bitterness on the finish.
Pairing: Pan-fried foie gras, cold (e.g. millefeuille of spice bread with foie gras and apple)
