A marvel of fruit precision, ample and lingering on the palate.
With La Loye 2023, Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin offers a precise and luminous interpretation of Condrieu, the emblematic Viognier appellation where aromatic richness and freshness must find a subtle equilibrium.
Based in Ampuis, the domaine stands as a reference point in the Northern Rhône Valley, recognised for its demanding vineyard work and careful winemaking. On Condrieu, Jean-Michel Gerin favours a measured approach, seeking to preserve the natural brightness of the grape while controlling its power.
The nose is intense and refined, opening onto aromas of white and yellow-fleshed fruits, peach, apricot, pear, accompanied by elegant floral notes evoking violet and orange blossom. On aeration, hints of honey, fresh almond and a discreet mineral touch emerge.
The palate is ample and silky, with beautiful richness perfectly balanced by underlying freshness. The wine develops flavours of ripe fruit, delicate exotic fruits and subtle spice notes, in a precise and harmonious register, without heaviness.
The finish is long and elegant, carried by a fine tension that prolongs the floral and fruity aromas. A seductive and controlled Condrieu, both expressive and digestible, ideal with sauced fish, shellfish or lightly spiced cuisine.
