Condrieu Vernon Cuilleron 2017 is a full-bodied Viognier white wine sourced from the lieu-dit Vernon in the northern Rhône Valley. This wine displays aromas of white peach and apricot, accompanied by notes of lemon flesh and subtle cedar. A tinge of ginger contributes additional complexity. The vineyard, known for its granite soils and steep slopes, influences the wine`s profile, allowing for a balance of richness and freshness.
94 Vinous
Bright straw-gold. Potent, mineral-accented orchard and pit fruit and floral qualities on the deeply perfumed nose. Silky and deeply concentrated, offering palate-staining white peach, pear nectar and orange zest flavors that display excellent clarity and back-end energy. The long, focused finish shows sharp focus and repeating pit fruit character. Raised in a 50/50 combination of oak foudres and barriques and bottled after 16 months on its lees. - Josh Raynolds (2020)

Cask sample. Tasted blind. Juggles oak and fruit on the nose and palate, with the spiciness being a little more obvious than is strictly ideal – although there is plenty of stone-fruit ripeness too, and the quality of the flavours is excellent. Just a slightly bitter twang to finish. - Richard Hemming (2018)
