Domaine Verzier, Condrieu, Authentic, 2022
From a terraced plot named Chante-Perdrix (the singing partridge), “très granitique” as Maxime Verzier says, between 200m. and 330m. on the Izeras hillside. There’s nothing like Condrieu – in no other Viognier does one see the tension between pure apricot flavours and that dry minerality.
Pale gold. Scent of honeysuckle. Pure heart of apricots and cream. Subtle oak framing. Honeyed and appealingly viscuous. Finish just lifted by a saline hint. A wonderful wine to pair with any rich seafood dish, in particular lobster and crab. Now-2027
The Verzier family has owned land here since 1828, but only in 1988 did father Philippe begin to focus on wine, ceasing the sale of grapes from his 2.5 hectares to the local co-operative and starting to bottle his own wine. Now the family farm 10 hectares of vines and son Maxime, having done apprenticeships in Burgundy, Alsace, South Africa and Canada, is working with his father. Philippe’s wife Isabelle studied naturopathic medicine, and the family apply those natural principles to tending their vines, for example using herbal sprays. All wines here are certified bio-dynamic (Demeter).
Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.Read More
