For over two decades, Christine Vernay, a third-generation winemaker, has been at the helm of Domaine Georges Vernay, a renowned estate in the Northern Rhône celebrated for its Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu wines. Les Terrasses de l’Empire is their entry-level white wine, and it stands as a splendid representation of Condrieu. It is crafted from a variety of meticulously tended, organically farmed Viognier vineyards and undergoes fermentation and 8 months of maturation in oak barrels. It embodies the essence of Condrieu, perfectly balancing the opulent richness of stone fruit, delicate hints of citrus blossom, and underlying minerality.
