Wine Review: Domaine Georges Vernay Condrieu Les Terrasses de l'Empire 2020

Our Wine Director, David Allen MW holds the firm belief that Domaine George Vernay makes the archetypal Condrieu, producing wines of balance, elegance and poise that are some of the most impressive wines made from Viognier. Today he tastes their Condrieu Les Terrasses de l'Empire 2020 and is not disappointed. Domaine Georges Vernay is one of the Rhône's most renowned wine producers, and has contributed significantly to the rejuvenation of the Condrieu appellation. Today, the estate has built on its reputation for superior Viognier wines and its complementary range of high-quality Syrah wines from Côte Rôtie. Founder Francis Vernay planted the domaine's original vines on a single hectare (3 acre) of south-facing hillside at the base of the Coteau du Vernon in 1937. The inaugural vintage of Coteau de Vernon was released in 1940. When Georges Vernay inherited the estate from his father in the early 1950s, he began to develop and expand these vineyards, as well constructing a series of terraces. Christine Vernay, George's daughter, has continued to expand the estate with the acquisition of several vineyard holdings in Saint-Joseph, Côte Rôtie and Collines Rhodaniennes, all planted to Syrah. As a result, Domaine Georges Vernay is now recognized as much for its Syrah, as it is Viognier.
