The estate and the wine |
|
|
Domaine Guy Bernard is a significant yet still undiscovered name. Located on the beautiful slopes of Côte Rôtie and Condrieu with only 6 hectares, this small estate forgoes ostentation in favor of purity, fruit, and balance. Skillfully vinified, the wines thus present radiant character where finesse always triumphs over power. |
|
|
| |
|
The 2022 White Condrieu Bassenon deserves decanting upon opening to fully unleash its aromas of fresh apricot and fine oak. Following are warmer notes of licorice in a vibrant, fresh palate. The precision of this 2022 vintage is highly appreciated, with its sharp and focused profile framing its generosity. Rated 92/100 by the Selection Committee. |
|
|
| |
|
Hand-harvested, static cold settling, low-temperature alcoholic fermentation, weekly stirring of the lees until malolactic fermentation.
Aging: 80% of the harvest in barrels, 10% of which are new, and 20% in stainless steel vats. |
