WINE DESCRIPTION
Clusel-Roch Condrieu Verchery is made from the Viognier grape grown on steep slopes and granite soils in the Northern Rhone. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a careful sorting in the vineyard by the pickers. Arriving at the cellar, the grapes are pressedand fermentation is done mostly in barrels, and a small part in stainless steel vats, always with indigenous yeasts. Aging lasts for about one year in barrels and in stainless steel vats.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Clusel-Roch Condrieu Verchery is a full-bodied white, bursting with aromas of apricot, honey, and jasmine.On the palate, this wine is rich and full-bodied, with heady flavors of stone fruits, honeysuckle and a slight hint of minerality. Its soft acidity balances the opulent fruit flavors, whilst the mineral-tinged, lingering finish is extremely pure and well-defined.

ORIGINS
Winery: Clusel-Roch
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
