FR Lionel Faury Condrieu “Le Mornieux” AOP

Along the steep, narrow valley that traces the northern Rhône, the appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Saint-Joseph take their place among the great wines of France, and Domaine Faury is one of the region’s most artisanal producers.

VINTAGE: 2022

ALC: 14.5%

Appellation: AOC Condrieu

Grape variety: 100% Viognier

Soil: Granites. The vineyard is laid out in dry stone terraces (“les chaillées”) with a south-south-east exposure.

Vinification / Aging / Blending: harvested in small boxes, the grapes are pressed then put in the cold and settled 36 to 48 hours later.

Alcoholic fermentation takes place mainly in stainless steel vats with controlled temperatures. Some of the wines are racked into barrels of 225 to 500 liters where they remain for 11 months on fine lees.

Light filtration before bottling by gravity.

TASTING NOTES:  brilliant pale yellow color with green reflections. Complex nose of yellow stone fruits (apricots, peaches, etc.) with floral notes (violet, acacia flowers, etc.).

Rich and ample palate, whose sapidity maintains the whole.

FOOD PARING : accompanies festive dinner buffets, spring asparagus in all its forms, poultry, fresh and matured goat cheeses (Condrieu laugh of course!)
