NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is a remarkable expression of Condrieu, a renowned appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley of France.Stephane Montez, the producer, has crafted a truly exceptional wine with the Les Grandes Chaillées bottling.
On the nose, this Condrieu offers an enticing bouquet of white flowers, including honeysuckle and acacia, accompanied by delicate hints of apricot and peach. The aromas are beautifully integrated and showcase the wine's elegance.
The palate is equally impressive, displaying a harmonious balance between richness and freshness. The wine's medium to full body is complemented by a vibrant acidity that adds liveliness to the overall experience. Flavors of ripe stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, dominate the palate, while subtle notes of citrus and honey provide additional complexity.
The oak influence in this wine is well-integrated, contributing to its structure and adding a touch of vanilla and spice to the finish. The wine's texture is velvety, with a long and lingering aftertaste that leaves a lasting impression.

ORIGINS
Winery: Stephane Montez - Domaine du Monteillet
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
