Description
In a nutshell:
From the northern Rhône, this is a hedonistic Viognier with an exotic perfume of jasmine and ripe peach, and a luxurious, silken texture that lingers beautifully.
The lowdown:
Grown on steep granite slopes, Condrieu is the northern Rhône's star white appellation, featuring Viognier at its most irresistible. This from Domaine du Monteillet ticks all the right boxes. Aromas of apricots and honeysuckle pull you in, while the palate balances lush richness with a bright, fresh minerality. It's all about texture and finesse, theres no heavy-handed oak here, just beautifully layered flavours with a lovely tension between opulence and freshness. Polished but never over the top, a good reminder of why Condrieu is so treasured.
The Producer:
Domaine du Monteillet, tucked away in the Northern Rhône, is one of those estates that quietly commands respect. The Montez clan has diligently tended their vines for generations, perched high above the village of Chavannay. Now, Stéphane Montez runs the show he has the knack for teasing out the nuances of the terroir. The wines aren't flashy, but they've got depth and heart. Domaine du Monteillet is that rare breed - reliable, consistent, and quietly brilliant.
When to drink:
Goes brilliantly with roast guinea fowl or duck with an orange glaze, the rich textures and exotic perfume are spot on. Just coming into its own, with years ahead to enjoy.
