Opaque ruby. Intense dark fruit and floral pastille aromas are complemented by suggestions of smoky Indian spices, olive and zesty minerality. Shows very good clarity and depth on the palate, offering juicy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that become spicier with aeration. Finishes with youthful tannic grip and strong persistence, leaving a sexy candied violet note behind.

A pioneer in the renewal of the Condrieu appellation, Domaine Georges Vernay has always made wines of unique style, notable for their finesse, elegance and harmony. The property has become a major emblem of Rhone Valley winegrowing, from the time when Georges Vernay saved the Condrieu appellation to the international awards earned by Christine Vernay’s Côte-Rôtie. Three generations have left the mark of the philosophy on the estate, while perpetuating its traditions in the greatest respect for both vines and winegrowers.
