WINE DESCRIPTION

Delas Clos Boucher Condrieu is a premium white wine produced by Delas Frères, a renowned winery in the Northern Rhône region of France. The wine is made from 100% Viognier grapes grown in the Condrieu appellation, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards and granite soils. The vineyard's unique microclimate, with warm days and cool nights, allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and fermentation in oak barrels, followed by aging on lees for several months to enhance the wine's richness and texture. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, aromatic white with notes of apricot, peach, and honey, and a long, elegant finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Delas Clos Boucher Condrieu is a light and zesty white wine with aromas of ripe pear, apricot, and white peach.On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant with a balanced acidity and a long finish of mineral and honeyed notes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Delas

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.
