Xavier Gerard Condrieu Cote Chatillon 2021

Introduction

From the estates finest holding, situated in the middle of the slope overlooking the Rhone, this cuvee from the famed Cote Chatillon lieu-dit has long been the flagship Condrieu of Domaine Gerard.

After fermentation in cuve, the wine spends one year in a mix of 500L and 225L barrels, the vast majority of which are old. The richness of the fruit is placed in balance by bright acidity, in a masterfully-controlled wine. A liveliness and notes of spice carry through the pleasing finish.
