Wine Advocate, 92 Points
"Marked by a delicate balance of light, pleasant florals, ripe pineapple and apricot, the 2019 Condrieu les Terrasses de l'Empire avoids any sense of heaviness. It's medium to full-bodied, silky textured and fine, with luscious nuances of gingery-peppery spice on the lingering finish. Grown on the upper slopes above Condrieu in the lieux-dits of La Caille and Sainte-Agathe, the soils are biotite granite, with fermentation and aging in oak vats and barrels, without any new wood."
Winemaker Notes:
"This wine has aromas of peaches, apricots, a hint of acacia flowers. Very mineral, a slightly iodized saline effect coming from the granite to biotite soil, gives this wine a very airy side which compensates for the legendary lack of acidity of the viognier."
Alcohol: 14.5%
