Domaine Faury, Condrieu La Berne 2019
The Condrieu “La Berne”, named after the previous owners of the land and refers to a specific plot where Lionel Faury’s father first planted vines, is wonderfully elegant and linear whilst maintaining a richness in texture. Pale straw in appearance, the nose of the wine is fresh with aromas of white peach and pear, and a hint of citrus and vanilla. The palate is dry but rich and rounded with apricot and subtle peach flavours supported by an elegant acidity that leads to a long finish. Some minerality in the final, as well as a touch of citrus. Lionel is determined to push his wines in to the front rank of the Northern Rhône’s top wines and this superb white is a shining example of him succeeding.
JCP Maltus, Le Nardian Blanc 2014
Le Nardian is the product of a wager between their now-retired Consulting Oenologue, Gilles Pauquet (also consultant to Chateau Cheval Blanc, Figeac and Canon) and JCP Maltus, that a low cropped white would see similar benefits to a red wine. Le Nardian has, as one of its major components, Muscadelle - a cousin of Viognier. They manage to get an almost Rhône-style sense with the wine as its aromatic quality comes to the fore.
