Description
In a nutshell:
Think lavish floral perfumes and sun-kissed stone fruit, all wrapped in a veil of delicate spice - a hedonistic Viognier with just the right amount of restraint.
The lowdown:
Chapoutier's 'Invitare' Condrieu 2022 offers an enchanting taste of summer. Envision sun-kissed apricots, peaches still warm from the tree, their sweetness tempered by the delicate perfume of acacia blossom. It's a wine of subtle richness, with a golden hue reminiscent of the sun-baked Rhône slopes. Chapoutier, of course, needs no introduction in the Northern Rhône, skillfully coaxing the very best from the pure Viognier grapes at the heart of Condrieu. The vines cling to ancient, sun-drenched terraces - a testament to the appellation's rich history. 2022 was a warm and generous year, evident in the ripe fruit, yet the wine retains a lovely complexity and a clean, vibrant finish. A truly expressive Condrieu. It's unfussy, yet undeniably captivating - a testament to the unique magic of this corner of the wine world.
The Producer:
Indisputably one of the Rhône's greats, M. Chapoutier boasts a rich history dating back to 1808 in Tain l'Hermitage. The estate's holdings are impressive, spanning the length of the Rhône and beyond, even reaching Australia. Yet, it's the arrival of Michel Chapoutier in 1990 that marks a turning point. His championing of biodynamic viticulture, coupled with exceptional vineyard sites, catapulted Chapoutier back to the top tier of Rhône producers. Their commitment to natural practices is absolute - no herbicides or pesticides, and a belief in biodiversity within the vineyards. Interestingly, their labels feature Braille since the mid-1990s. Today, they own Europe's largest biodynamic vineyard and create some of the Rhône's most iconic wines. Driven by Michel's energy, Chapoutier continues to acquire prime vineyards, cementing their status as a leader in the region.
When to drink:
Enjoy this expressive white bursting with orchard fruits and a touch of warmth now to capture its youthful vibrancy, or pair it with creamy goat's cheese or spicy Eastern cuisine within the next few years.
