Condrieu Vernon Julien Pilon (no reserve) 2013

The wine

This Viognier, which has benefited from integrated vineyard management techniques, delivers citrus flavours. There are lemon peel and grapefruit notes and the finish is characterised by pleasing hints of bitterness. This wine should be drunk within 10 years and is a perfect accompaniment to gourmet cuisine such as premium fish, asparagus risotto or langoustine ravioli.

About the Producer Julien Pilon

After learning the winemaker's craft in various vineyards in the Roussillon region and Spain, Julien Pilon returned to his native Condrieu. Since 2010, he has been producing white Saint-Joseph using grapes which he buys in and then vinifies in his own cellar in Condrieu. In addition to buying 7 hectares of grapes, he has 1.5 hectares of his own vines. These white grape varieties (Marsanne and Roussanne) grow on local granite soils and produce wines of great finesse which are also very precise.
