Production
This wine comes from a clay limestone terrace, using only one plot of land that was planted in the early 1990s from selected vines from Condrieu. When fully ripe, grapes are harvested by hand and at night to preserve their freshness and aromas. The vinification, ageing, battonage, and also the malolactic fermentation processes all take place in 225-litre new French oak barrels where the wines stays for 6 months with regular batonnage.
Tasting notes
Hovers just the right side of 'big and daft'. Brilliant golden hue, this wine is intensely flavoured with notes of candied citrus fruits, marmalade, peach and roasted almonds.
Food match
Oppulent and intensely flavoured dishes such a tagine with apricots and preserved lemon.
