Tardieu-Laurent Condrieu
Información sobre este vino:
Tardieu-Laurent Condrieu is a white wine from the Maison Tardieu-Laurent, in the prestigious Condrieu appellation in the Rhône Valley. Born exclusively from Viognier, it displays that rare combination of opulence and precision that only the great vintages know how to sustain without tipping into excess. Its profile belongs to the category of white wine with a medium aging, since it is aged in barrels for several months, just enough to round out the whole and dress it with a discreet, never showy, silkiness.
It’s a wine that seems to move forward with the poise of a haute couture piece: voluptuous in appearance, yet perfectly framed by a backbone of freshness and minerality. The Tardieu-Laurent house signs here a Condrieu with an elegant, deep style, where the generosity of the vineyard meets a refined reading of the terroir. There is in it an air of contained luxury, like a salon lit by golden light at dusk.
It comes from the Condrieu appellation, in the northern part of the Rhône Valley, an area of slopes and light where Viognier reaches a unique expression. The soils and the exposure impart to the wine that blend of aromatic richness and tension that makes it so distinctive. The identity of the terroir asserts itself with nobility: rather than a free exuberance, it offers fresh, precise, and long-lasting fruit, with a clearly chalky profile and a sensation of noble purity.
