Condrieu André Perret 2018
The wine
This Condrieu is produced from 60-year-old vines cultivated on a granite, mica and flint terroir with a south and south-easterly aspect. Yields are restricted to 35 hectolitres per hectare and the wine is fermented in stainless steel (one third) and wooden (two thirds) vats. It is stirred regularly and left to rest on its lees for one year before bottling. This wine has an attractive gold colour and the typical apricot, floral and citrus notes. Its full-flavoured, rich and generous palate has a pleasing acidity which also gives it ageing potential of ten or so years.
About the Producer André Perret
André Perret took over the family domain in 1982 and quickly expanded, planting vines where his father had planted other crops. He now has 12 hectares of vines in the Condrieu, Saint-Joseph and Côtes-du-Rhône appellations. The parcels are cultivated with great care, yields restricted and grapes harvested by hand. The domain's Condrieu and Saint-Joseph is widely acclaimed, as is the Coteau de Chéry that comes from a single parcel that was spared by the Roman Emperor Probus at a time when many French vines were pulled up.
