Condrieu Les Chaillets Yves Cuilleron (Domaine) 2024

This cuvée is a Viognier parcel grown in the biotite granite soils on the local terraces known as "Les Chaillets". The vines are sustainably cultivated, and yields are controlled. The grapes are harvested when fully mature and sorted by hand. The winemaking process involves pressing and alcoholic and malolactic fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is matured for 9 months on the lees in barrique barrels, with regular stirring. This Condrieu can be drunk young to reveal its primary aromas. However, for those wishing to enjoy its tertiary aromas, around ten years' keeping is advisable. It presents an indulgent nose of honey, flowers and stone fruits, spices and grilled dried fruits that reflect the wine's élevage. This cuvée has real body, and a mineral freshness lends it a pleasant length in the mouth.
