M. Chapoutier Condrieu 'Invitare'

100% Viognier, this wine undergoes a meticulous hand-harvesting process at optimal ripeness. Following pressing, the must undergoes cold-settling for a period of 48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures between 16 and 18°C, with a portion of the wine aged in oak casks. A brief aging period on the lees, approximately 8 months, is employed to preserve the inherent freshness and varietal character of the grape.

The wine undergoes wood aging to impart complexity and depth, with 15% aged in new barrels to preserve the fruit's vibrancy. The remaining 85% mature in demi-muids previously utilized for one to two vintages, enhancing the wine's consistency, potency, and aromatic complexity.

In appearance, it showcases a captivating deep gold hue with golden yellow tones accented by hints of green. The nose is a symphony of exotic fruits, including pineapple, intertwined with delicate notes of acacia blossom, lychee, apricot, and peach.

On the palate, it envelops the senses with a rounded, full-bodied texture, boasting a remarkable length that culminates in a lingering vanilla finish. This wine epitomizes elegance and sophistication, offering a sensory journey that delights the palate with each sip.
