Condrieu 2014 - St Cosme
St Cosme
100% Viognier. Granite arenas. Aged for eight months. Ageing 5% in new pieces - 50% in pieces of one wine - 45% in pieces of two wines . A cool summer and slow maturities suited perfectly to Viognier which is not very productive and early: it needs a slow rhythm to avoid excess alcohol while ensuring a well-rounded phenolic maturity. There is nothing better than a ripe and complex Condrieu that does not exceed 13.5° of alcohol. It is in this scenario that our Malleval granites express themselves best. It is quite clear that the coolest vintages have produced the great wines of Condrieu. In a "symmetrical" way, the great warm years favourable to the Cote Rotie are not so in Condrieu, for example 1997, 2003 or 2015. Our 2014 has the freshness, balance and aromatic complexity of a great white: its notes of fennel and saline texture betray a relief worthy of great years. Above all, give it oxygen when you open the bottle. Give it time. Lobster, truffle, blue cheeses, Mediterranean products (red mullet, bouillabaisse) will go well with this 2014. The cuvée was bottled in July 2015, after the malolactic fermentation, with a light filtration. It is therefore offered to you after 7 months of bottling. Fennel, liquorice, elderflower, old rose, mango..
