Georges Vernay is known as the King of Condrieu & was responsible for the growth & worldwide recognition of this small appellation during the 1950s. His estate covers 16 hectares of vineyards, 3 of which are in the Cote Rotie appellation. The steep & uneven vineyards make mechanical labour impossible. The vines are manually propagated without the use of residual herbicide or insecticide. Georges daughter, Christine, returned to her roots with Paul Anselem, her Parisian husb&, & has looked after the winemaking since 1997. Lovely lychees & peach aromas sustained by the full & creamy palate. Pure Viognier expression.
