WINE DESCRIPTION
E. Guigal Condrieu is a highly sought-after white wine produced by the renowned winery E. Guigal in the Condrieu appellation of the Northern Rhône region in France. The wine is made from the Viognier grape variety, which is grown on steep, terraced vineyards with granite soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including barrel fermentation and aging, which results in a rich and complex wine with aromas of apricot, peach, and honey, and a full-bodied, creamy texture. E. Guigal Condrieu is a perfect choice for those who appreciate elegant and sophisticated white wines with a distinct sense of place.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Aromatically, the E. Guigal Condrieu offers a pleasant mix of stone fruits, pineapple and hints of white pepper and ginger.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and creamy, with a nice balance of acidity, minerality, and a lengthy finish. The flavors are ripe and concentrated, with concentrated stone fruits, melon, and tropical fruits. Its complexity, richness, and length make it an excellent choice for a special occasion.

ORIGINS
Winery: E. Guigal
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
