Condrieu Les Grandes Chaillées Monteillet (Domaine du) - Stéphane Montez 2021
The wine
From the terraces of eight different plots, the Viognier which makes up this Condrieu unfurls a golden straw-coloured hue which exudes a complex aromatic bouquet made up of notes of acacia, honey and toast. On the palate, wonderful minerality gives it tension and a lingering palate. To achieve this, it is subject to a brief period of skin maceration (9 hours). This means that malolactic fermentation was triggered in barriques and oak demi-muids. The wine was then aged for 10 months in barrels (75%) and demi-muids (25%).
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).
