Domaine Georges Vernay ‘Les Chaillées de l’Enfer’ Condrieu Blanc 2019
Location: France, Rhône, Condrieu
Winemaker: Christine Vernay
Grapes: Viognier
From the Producer: Les Chaillées de l’Enfer is a wine with incredible charm. It blends fruit (apricot, pear, white peaches) with citrus fruits, waxy notes and other more floral (white flowers, rose, violets), more vegetal (mint, thyme, etc.) and spicy (ginger, saffron) notes.
A tight Condrieu with saline and iodine tones, elegant, with a lovely freshness, this is a white of great purity with a perfect balance that could be called closed and tense.
From the Importer Broadbent Selections: Founded by Francis Vernay in 1937, and located in the heart of Condrieu. The efforts of Francis Vernay were instrumental in the creation of the official Condrieu appellation in 1940. Francis was succeeded by his son Georges, who played a key role in restricting the geographical boundaries of Condrieu. In 1996, Christine Vernay, Georges’s daughter, took over as winemaker and General Manager of the Estate. She is today recognized as one of the great winemakers in France.
