Introduction: Domaine Lionel Faury Condrieu is a stunning expression of Viognier from the prestigious Condrieu appellation in the Northern Rhône. This wine captures the varietal's hallmark aromatic intensity and richness while maintaining balance and elegance through meticulous winemaking.
Terrior: The vineyards of Condrieu are located on steep granite slopes overlooking the Rhône River. The poor, well-draining soils and warm, sunny climate enhance the aromatic complexity and concentration of Viognier.
Appearance: Vibrant golden yellow with a luminous sheen.
Nose: Aromas of ripe apricot, peach, and orange blossom are layered with hints of honeysuckle, almond, and a touch of exotic spices.
Palate: Medium to full-bodied, with a silky texture and flavors of stone fruits, citrus, and a subtle honeyed note. The wine’s fresh acidity and mineral undertones provide balance and lift, while the richness lingers beautifully.
Finish: Long and elegant, with persistent notes of apricot, white flowers, and a whisper of spice.
Overall Impression: Domaine Lionel Faury Condrieu is an exquisite Viognier that showcases the depth and finesse of this unique appellation. Its luxurious character and vibrant freshness make it a perfect pairing for scallops, lobster, or creamy poultry dishes.
