IGP Viognier, Le Pied de Samson, Georges Vernay - 2022

The wine is a brilliant, translucent pale gold colour, with magnificent scents of white flowers (seringat, jasmine), yellow fruit (peach, apricot) and sweet spices (star anise, cinnamon, vanilla). It enters the mouth refined, with a freshness and salinity typical of the great granite terroirs; and it continues sapid, juicy, intense, but without excessive perfume or heaviness. We navigate between crunchy fruit and expression of the origin: a true "little Condrieu", in short!

Technique

Viticulture

Average age of the vines: 20 years. Located on the upper slopes of the village on granitic soil, above 300 metres in altitude. They were recently removed from the appellation following the redistribution of the AOC Condrieu area. The soil is worked in the traditional way and treatments are carried out with organic products. 6,000 vines/hectare. 10,000 bottles. Single Guyot pruning.

Oenology

The grapes are harvested by hand at full maturity (12-13°) in small boxes. Direct pressing of the whole crop. Fermentation of the clear juice after static settling in thermo-regulated wooden vats for 3 to 4 weeks. Aged in wooden vats on fine lees for 6 months.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Snacked scallops and citrus carpaccio - Grilled pike-perch back with violet vinegar emulsion - Goat cheese

Georges Vernay

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!
