2018 Condrieu doux - Stéphane Montez « Candice » - Condrieu - 1 Jennie (0.5L)

This vintage is made from 50% noble rot (Botrytis) and 50% of grapes. To make this sweet wine, simply do not harvest your Condrieu at the usual time and let it linger in order to obtain the Botrytis. The climatic conditions must be exceptional (softness and humidity) from the end of October to the beginning of December because these grapes are harvested late in three selective passes. Grape variety: Viognier Dark straw yellow wine. Very subtle notes of dried apricots linked to over-maturity, hints of spice, gingerbread. The palate reveals a beautiful balance; it is unctuous and persistent. Terroir: Granite Cold maceration for 3 days Long and slow alcoholic fermentation in new barrels No malolactic fermentation. Stirring once a month Aging: 12 months in 100% new French oak barrels Serving temperature: 6 to 8° C Cellaring: from 1 to 99 years old Food and wine pairing: Foie gras in terrine with gingerbread, pear pie, exotic fruit crumbles...

Estimate:$10.09
