Condrieu Chanson Monteillet (Domaine du) - Stéphane Montez 2020
The wine
This Condrieu is a selection from the "Chanson" parcel, cultivated on an arid, steep granite hillside. The Viognier grapes are destemmed before skin maceration and cold settling. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in the barrel, while malolactic fermentation (on fine lees) is in oak barrique barrels. Stéphane Montez stirs the lees once every 6 weeks and matures his wine for 18 months in oak demi-muid barrels. Lovers of Condrieu's primary aromas will be able to enjoy it in five years' time. Otherwise, patience is required; wait 10 years in order to appreciate its tertiary aromas. This is a wine that works wonders with a pan-fried foie gras or a risotto of spring vegetables thanks to its fruity (pear, apricot) and indulgent (butter, toast) notes, with a very attractive tension.
About the Producer Monteillet
The domaine du Monteillet has belonged to the Villard family for no less than 5 centuries and nine generations! The family’s most well-known member is Louis Hector, duke of Villard and Louis XIV’s Marshall of France (1653-1734). Stéphane Montez has been running the property since 1997, having travelled the world to work in all sorts of different vineyards. His experience in the four corners of the world allowed him to develop new techniques in the family property and to respond to potential climatic difficulties. The vineyard is spread over 14 hectares and three appellations (Côte Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, Condrieu).
