Domaine Jean-Michel Gérin - Vin de France - La Champine Viognier 2024

Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin La Champine Viognier 2024

The Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin La Champine Viognier 2024 is an emblematic Northern Rhône cuvée, conceived as a gateway to the great whites of the Condrieu appellation. Through this wine, the domaine offers an accessible, precise and particularly seductive interpretation of Viognier, the region's emblematic grape variety.

An aromatic, balanced Viognier

The nose opens with an intense, elegant aromatic expression, marked by notes of fresh apricot, white peach and white flowers, accompanied by a touch of citrus that brings freshness and dynamism.

On the palate, the wine seduces with its supple, silky texture, characteristic of Viognier, while retaining a fine balance thanks to controlled freshness. The whole is greedy, precise and digestible, with a clean, slightly saline finish that prolongs the pleasure.

This style makes it a particularly accessible wine, while remaining true to the identity of great Rhône whites.

A cuvée inspired by the great terroirs of Condrieu

Grown from vines on the outskirts of Côte-Rôtie, on granite soils, this Viognier benefits from a terroir that brings tension and uprightness to a naturally rich grape variety.

Often considered a "baby Condrieu", La Champine Viognier takes up the appellation's great hallmarks: aromatic intensity, ample texture and floral elegance, in a more immediate and accessible version.

This approach makes it possible to offer a wine that is both expressive and approachable, without giving up precision.

Winemaking at the service of the fruit

Vinification focuses on the aromatic purity of Viognier, with aging mainly in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit's brilliance and the wine's freshness.

This technical choice results in a straightforward, readable and balanced wine, far removed from the overly heavy styles sometimes associated with the grape.
