Description
Francois Villard Condrieu Terrasses du Palat 2020
100% Viognier from Chavanay and Vérin, with decomposed granite and quartz terroir. Twenty-five-year-old vines. Low temperature fermentation in barrels with native yeasts. Aged eleven months in twenty-five percent new and seventy-five percent used oak barrels.
Bright and juicy, with a hint of green apple off setting the ripe mango, melon and creamed peach notes. The long, anise- and floral-tinged finish has weight and drive.
Critical Acclaim
93 Wine Spectator
Warm and engaging, with rich depth to the warm apple, sun tea, blanched almond and honeycomb flavors. Shows beautiful integration and texture, with a thread of smoke and shortbread notes adding roundness. Long and stylish, with succulent acidity and a pleasing bitter note that contributes savory complexity. Drink now through 2030.
