André Perret Chéry - Condrieu - White - 2024 :

 

Domaine André Perret Condrieu 'Chéry': A Masterclass in Viognier

The Condrieu 'Chéry' is André Perret's flagship white, hailing from the highly-regarded, sun-drenched Côteau de Chéry. This single-vineyard cuvée is widely considered one of the finest expressions of Viognier in the world, combining the grape's signature opulence with a rare, age-worthy structure.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Appearance: A radiant, deep straw-gold.
• Nose: Bewitchingly aromatic, featuring a magnificent blend of white peach, candied apricot, honeysuckle, and violet, complemented by a delicate spice and a signature flinty minerality.
• Palate: Rich, powerful, and beautifully defined. The texture is velvety and dense, but the wine avoids being heavy, thanks to a focused line of acidity and a chalky, long finish. This is a wine of precision, not just power, demonstrating a near-Burgundian finesse.

Food Matching & Serving Tips

Best served slightly chilled (12-14°C) and ideally decanted to allow the full spectrum of aromas to emerge. Pair with dishes that complement its richness and aromatic intensity.

• Ideal Matches: Lobster Thermidor, Seared Scallops with Ginger and Lime, Roast Chicken with a Truffle Cream Sauce, Mature Soft Cheeses.
• Drink Window: Excellent now, but its structure allows for graceful ageing until 2030+.
