Product Notes

Domaine Georges Vernay Condrieu Les Terrasses de l'Empire is an exquisite French wine, produced in the Rhône region. This white wine is exceptional, crafted from Viognier grapes, famed for their floral and peachy nuances. The wine boasts a stunning golden hue and an alluring aroma of apricot, honey, and delicate violets. On the palate, it presents an impressive medium-full body, beautifully balanced acidity, and a luxuriously long finish. The intricate notes of ripe fruits, warm spices and minerally undertones culminate in a wine of unparalleled elegance. A fantastic embodiment of Condrieu's storied viticultural tradition. Suitable for special occasions.

Tasting Notes

Pure peach and apricot aromas are lifted with hints of acacia flowers. Full and creamy with a distinctive mineral expression and a subtle Condrieu saline complexity supporting the ripe stone fruit flavours. This is a pure expression of a very fine Viognier.
