2015 | Georges Vernay | Condrieu Les Chaillees de l'Enfer

This flirts with an exotic character, as apricot, peach, persimmon and nectarine flavors vie with one another, while racy white ginger, honeysuckle and bitter orange notes add energy and range through the finish. Shows power and elegance.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Vernay's 2015 Condrieu les Chaillees de l'Enfer features scents of toasted almond and vanilla framing ripe pineapple fruit. Only medium-bodied, the wine is quite zippy and fresh, especially considering the heat of the vintage.

• Vinous: Pale gold. Sexy, highly energetic aromas of white peach, pear nectar, melon and tangerine carry a bright floral overtone. Juicy, focused and densely packed, showing a suave interplay of richness and vivacity to the orchard and pit fruit and floral flavors. Shows superb power and depth on the strikingly long finish, which echoes the peach and tangerine qualities.

Producer Information

Domaine Georges Vernay is one of the Rhône's most renowned wine producers, and has contributed significantly to the rejuvenation of the Condrieu appellation. Today, the estate has built on its reputation for superior Viognier wines and its complementary range of high-quality Syrah wines from Côte Rôtie.Founder Francis Vernay planted the domaine's original vines on a single hectare (3 acre) of south-facing hillside at the base of the Coteau du Vernon in 1937. The inaugural vintage of Coteau de Vernon was released in 1940.When Georges Vernay inherited the estate from his father in the early 1950s, he began to develop and expand these vineyards, as well constructing a series of terraces. Christine Vernay, George's daughter, has continued to expand the estate with the acquisition of several vineyard holdings in Saint-Joseph, Côte Rôtie and Collines Rhodaniennes, all planted to Syrah. As a result, Domaine Georges Vernay is now recognized as much for its Syrah, as it is Viognier.
