Condrieu Les Terrasses de l'Empire, Georges Vernay (magnum) - 2023

  • Provenance: Northern Côtes du Rhône
  • Appellation: Condrieu
  • Domain: Georges Vernay
  • Grape variety(ies): Viognier
  • Alcohol degree: 14%
The first Condrieu in the estate's range, it is the archetype of the great wine of fruit and soil, with its inimitable aromas of white peach and its slender and elegant shape in the mouth. A wine full of harmony, where aromatic quality rhymes with freshness, which is the absolute vocation of great winegrowers on granite soil.

Viticulture

Average age of the vines: 35 years. The very uneven vineyard makes mechanisation impossible. The vines are maintained manually. Phytosanitary treatments are carried out with organic products. 8,000 to 10,000 vines/hectare. 20,000 bottles. Single Guyot pruning.

Oenology

Harvested by hand, at full maturity (13-14°) in boxes. Direct pressing of whole grapes. Fermentation of the clear juice after static settling with temperature control in 20 Hl tuns. Aged in wooden vats and a quarter in barrels of 3 and 4 wines.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Roasted lobster - Scallops with ceps - Fish gratin.

Domain
The Vernay estate has left its mark on the history of Rhône-Alpes winegrowing, by saving the Condrieu appellation from extinction at the beginning of the last century. Three generations have contributed to building its legend, including the famous Georges of course, and for some years now his daughter Christine, assisted in her task by her partner Paul Amsellem, her brother Luc and now her daughter Emma.Aware of its place and responsibility, the estate continues its work to preserve the fauna and flora. It is now certified as an organic estate. The very uneven vineyard makes mechanisation impossible, so the vines are maintained manually or with a caterpillar.If Georges has largely contributed to making the estate known for its Condrieu wines, Christine has quite simply revolutionised the style of the estate's reds. Not only has the range of Syrahs been positively enlarged, with IGP, Saint-Joseph terroirs and of course Côtes-Rôties, but the level has jumped to the top of the list of references in the region!
