2023 Condrieu Coteau de Vernon, Georges Vernay
Magnum
Dry | White | Still
Vinified in 225-litre casks, which up to 25% is new, the Coteau de Vernon is jewel in the Vernay crown and, to many observers, the finest Condrieu bar none. The celebrated 'Coteau de Vernon' hails from a steeply-terraced, single vineyard in the centre of the appellation. Showing a bouquet of wild flowers and white orchard fruit, with a complex palate of peaches, nuts, figs and minerals with an ethereal dry finish – this is a wine of true terroir. Drinks well now but will keep for up to 20 years in all but the lighter vintages.
