Elegantly structured, with racy acidity and well-judged oak carrying it through to a long, lingering finish — 100% Viognier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorges Vernay was the King of Condrieu, the man who drove the appellation's recovery and worldwide recognition through the 1950s; his daughter Christine has looked after the winemaking since 1997. Coteau de Vernon is the family's 2.5-hectare parcel of 50–70-year-old vines on south to south-east facing granite terraces in the heart of Condrieu, planted densely and yielding just 25 hectolitres per hectare. The terraces are too steep for machines, so everything is done by hand, without weedkillers or insecticides, and the vineyard is certified organic. The grapes are picked at full ripeness, sorted and pressed straight away, then fermented in 225-litre barrels over four to five weeks and aged 12 months on the fine lees with regular bâtonnage, in 25% new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood with rich and creamy dishes, poultry and pork, and cheese. Drinking well now, with a decade or more ahead of it. Serve at 12°C, and give it a little air in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Georges Vernay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55718632554879,"sku":"HNW-4617023A","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/2021_Condrieu_CoteaudeVernon_DomaineGeorgesVernay.png?v=1755807156","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2023-condrieu-coteau-de-vernon-domaine-georges-vernay","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
