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 Condrieu Bassenon White benefits from a bit of decanting to fully reveal its fresh apricot aromas and subtle, elegant oak character. As it opens up, warmer notes of licorice emerge, carried by a lively texture and bright freshness. This vintage impresses with its precision and poise—its sleek, finely drawn profile perfectly balancing the wine’s natural generosity. |
|
| | |
|
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. |
