Grand Condrieu signed Jean-Michel Gerin, La Loye 2024 expresses all the richness of Viognier with elegance: yellow fruits, white flowers and silky texture, carried by a beautiful freshness.
Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin Condrieu La Loye 2024 is an emblematic cuvée of the Condrieu appellation, revealing all the nobility of Viognier on the great granite terroirs of the Northern Rhône. Through this cuvée, the estate offers a precise, expressive and balanced interpretation of this grape variety renowned for its aromatic richness.
The nose reveals an intense, refined aromatic palette, marked by notes of apricot, white peach and white flowers, accompanied by lightly honeyed nuances and a touch of citrus.
On the palate, the wine seduces with its full, silky texture, characteristic of Viognier, while retaining a lovely freshness that perfectly balances the whole. The balance between richness and tension is particularly successful, offering a long, elegant finish with fruity and slightly spicy accents.
From plots on steep, south-facing hillsides, this Condrieu rests on decomposed granite soils typical of the appellation.
This terroir lends the wine a subtle minerality and natural tension that structure the richness of the Viognier. The warm, sunny climate of the Northern Rhône allows optimum ripening of the grape variety, while retaining a freshness essential to the wine's balance.
The vinification of Condrieu La Loye is based on precise work, with an ageing period of around a year, divided between oak barrels and stainless steel tanks.
This approach preserves Viognier's aromatic brilliance while adding volume and complexity. Wood aging is perfectly integrated, supporting the wine's structure without masking the purity of the fruit.
The Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin, based in Ampuis, is today a key reference in the Northern Rhône Valley. Backed by family know-how handed down through several generations, the domaine is renowned for its demanding approach and in-depth knowledge of its terroirs.
Committed to respectful viticulture, with a conversion to organic farming, the estate favors precise work in the vineyard and cellar to produce wines true to their origins.
The Condrieu La Loye 2024 is an ideal accompaniment to noble fish, shellfish, poultry in sauce or lightly creamed dishes.
It also goes very well with certain cheeses, especially blue-veined, or with refined cuisine highlighting its aromatic richness.
Already very expressive in its youth, this Condrieu will be able to evolve over several years in the cellar, developing more complex aromas of honey, candied fruit and sweet spices.
It generally reaches its peak between 3 and 8 years, depending on storage conditions.
