This wine comes from the Condrieu appellation, which is known for producing some of the finest Viognier wines in the world.

The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced expression of Viognier, with aromas of apricot, peach, and honey, and a rich, full-bodied palate. This wine is a must-try for anyone who appreciates the complexity and elegance of a great Viognier.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Condrieu Les Chaillets from Yves Cuilleron is a beautiful expression of the Viognier grape.Rich and creamy on the palate, it offers up generous aromas of apricot, white flowers, and honey. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with notes of ripe tropical fruits and a balanced acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of minerality and a hint of spice. Enjoy this delightful wine now, or cellar it for a few more years to bring out the full richness of its flavors.

ORIGINS
Winery: Yves Cuilleron
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
