VIOGNIER

   

Condrieu is one of the smallest appellations in France. Located in the Northern Rhone, just south of Lyon, it is the Roman settlement from which the Viognier grape has emerged into cult status. Condrieu’s 100% Viognier wines have such a distinctive style and quality that they are well worth the premium prices they command. Very few Viognier wines from other regions can match the aromatic and sensual glory of Condrieu.

Why has Bomont de Cormeil, in VdP Coteaux du Verdon been able to approach the magnificence of Condrieu:
1. Vineyards above 500 metres altitude.
2. South slope with full sun and cool evenings.
3. Hand-picked at full maturity. Hand selection at the cellar.
4. Fermented in new French oak barrels / batonnage.
5. No sugar added.
6. Clarification by natural sedimentation.
