WINE DESCRIPTION
André Perret Condrieu Clos Chanson is a highly sought-after white wine produced by André Perret, a renowned winemaker in the Condrieu appellation of the Northern Rhône region in France. The wine is made from 100% Viognier grapes grown in the Clos Chanson vineyard, which is known for its steep slopes and granite soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in oak barrels, resulting in a wine that is rich, complex, and full-bodied, with aromas of apricot, peach, and honey, and a long, lingering finish. This wine is a perfect example of the elegance and finesse that can be achieved with Viognier in the hands of a skilled winemaker.

ORIGINS
Winery: André Perret
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
