2016 Condrieu Lieu-Dit Vernon, Caves Yves Cuilleron
Jeb Dunnuck called this lieu-dit “one of the finest terroirs for Viognier in the world”, and Yves makes it sing year in, year out. This cuvée sees 45% new oak, giving a creamy texture and added power to the palate. It’s one of those rare Condrieus that cries out for some age to get the most from its complex, marmalade-y richness and spice.
