2022 Condrieu, La Combe de Malleval, Stéphane Ogier, Rhône

Description

These Viognier vines grow on south-facing granite slopes at 300 metre altitude. This style of Condrieu is precise and crystalline, picked early for the purest fruit clarity. The nose has delicate notes of honeysuckle and nectarine, while the palate is a smooth flow of honeyed white and orange peaches, with a round, fleshy texture balancing the clean, mineral freshness.

Condrieu

Condrieu

There are now plantings of Viognier worldwide but this grape’s spiritual homeland is in Condrieu – where the finest Viogniers are produced. The appellation was created in 1940, and today over 40 growers make wines from just over 100 hectares of vineyards. The wines are dry with a wonderful floral nose of peaches, apricots, violets and pears, and quite alcoholic, with low-ish acidity. Condrieus are best enjoyed when young.
